Lyrics

I remember the days when all i ddid was play
in the corner park, swinging thhe day away
on the swingset i'd sing, swinging high as the sky
golden afternoons, sweet breeze, a little sigh

higher and higher i'd rush into the wind
the cool chains in my hands, soon a sunset begins,
an upside down girl sees an upside down world
where the colors are brigghter the higher i fly

life used to be so easy
life used to be so slow
life used to be so simple, long ago

every summer the family would visit the farm
where the grass is the greenest and sweetest and warm
grandma and grandpa would keep us well fed
seven meals a day and a comfy bed

now when i visit, she sits me right down
i'm surrounded by sweet things, good food all around
i say, "grandma, i can't, i am grying to cut down,"
she says, "sure you are, darling, but loook what i found!"

life used to be so easy,
life used to be so slow
life used to be so simple, long ago

there's a pain in my chest of a real ugliness
caused by words that i've heard that hurt even the best
and i wonder sometimes why it hits me so hard
it seems that i'm usually caught off guard
and my dreams of believing in people are palling
sailing away, growing smaller each day
but maybe i'll find with the passage of time
that i no longer mind that life used to be so easy
