Lyrics
In The Park
Ben Goerner, Karl Goerner, Tom Cadham
Copyright 2006
Seems like such a long time ago
Theres a place that we would all go
And play guitar
And play guitar
Dreaming that someday we?d all be
Exactly what we set out to be
reach for the stars
reach for the stars
And we sang for ourselves and we sang for each other
And we sang for what we thought was right
And we sang for our lovers and we sang for the good times
And we sang those songs well into the night.
And I don?t remember when it all changed
how our lives got so re-arranged
But I will remember
I will remember
Singing wish you were here in the park
Wish you were here in the park
When you (we) rescued my (our) heart(s) from the dark
Playin wish you were here in the park
And I wish we could all do it again
Just like we did it back then
Just one more time
Just one more time
When we sang for ourselves and we sang for each other
When we sang for what we thought was right
When we sang for our lovers we sang for the good times
When we sang those songs well into the night
And I don?t remember when it all changed
how our lives got so re-arranged
But I will remember
I will remember
