Backyard
Here you are
standing in the midst of enchantment
this is my backyard
these are the loving grounds
where I dreamt.
This is my backyard
this was my childhood
this is where I dreamed of...
me a few years older falling in love
who would've known it would be you?
Spring in the air
but all you feel there
is me.
My innocent eyes.
My curly hair
sugar and spice
you wish you'd been there
to watch me grow up
but you're here now
to take it all in.
Soak it all up.
This is my backyard
this was my childhood.
This is where I dreamed of...
me a few years older,
falling in love.
Being grown up.
Never was there more innocence.
This grass is the bed
where I slept,
this is my Dreaming Tree
I climbed as high as I could reach,
this is where I'd swing
while I planned all my dreams
where the tree house lived
and the poison ivy itched,
I owned all the soil I could touch
and loved everything I could love.
This is where I laughed,
this is where I cried,
this is where I napped,
this is where I lied,
this is where I bled,
this is where I won and where I lost,
this is where I said
exactly what I thought.
This is where I became me,
this is where I dreamed...
The Big Tree where Jacob, Adam and I played,
the Sidewalk Josh and I raced,
this is where Corey walked me Home,
Rhiannon and Brittany told me secrets no one knows,
Jason told me to grab my bike
when we were going for a ride.
This is my backyard
this was my childhood
this is where I dreamed of...
me a few years older falling in love...
