Lyrics
V1
Back in the 60's when we were both kids
I remember everything we did
shooting marbles over in the park
You played for keeps, and won my heart
If I knew you were only shooting bull
Today I might seem much less of a fool
Chorus
We played London Bridge is falling down
Hide and seek and kick the can
Skipping rope and skipping stones
Skipping school to be alone, with you
I'd say "May I take a giant step
Into your arms" You'd say "Not yet.""
I still remember days long gone
I was crushed, but you played on
V2
The farmer in the dell was lots of fun
I picked you for my wife, when it was my turn
I never told you just how bad I felt
When you smiled at me and then picked someone else
I saw you K-I-S-S-I-N-G
that bottle never seemed to point at me
Chorus
V3
The games you're playin now, last all night
I could say goodbye, but that wouldn't be right
Cause when you love someone You try to hold on
that's what I have always done, but
I hate this game called "Come Home at Dawn"
And still...you play on.
Chorus
