Bobby Caldwell — Take Me Back to Then

[Verse 1] When I was young I used to play On the sand by the bay What I've got now I'd give it all away Just to have some fun Life was all I had a ship And sailed it to the end Why can't I go there again [Chorus] Take me back to then When life was mellow Where we had golden sun Take me back, I said I can't continue With the world I'm in [Verse 2] Playing in the park Every afternoon I've grown old Far too soon Someone please tell me why I can't be made to see What good's left in my life Is this the end of me There's a tear For all the dreams That I left behind They'll always be on my mind [Chorus] X2 Take me back to then When life was mellow Where we had golden sun Take me back, I said I can't continue With the world I'm in
