Song lyrics all about way back when. Anyone want to add music


Poem Artwork

Wish I could

if only

go back

to those distant years

 

touch those places

look on

those faces so dear.

If I could

 

I wish I wish

 

I wish

I could return

go back

go back

to when

 

Let it be

same time

same place

way back when

 

I'd love  to hear

their voices

just how it was

it's been so so long.

 

I wish

I could return

go back

go back

to when

 

Once again.

It has a mournful tone to it that certainly appeals. And most of us can look back to innocent times when we were young and had friends that are no longer here.

The brain has a tendency, as time goes by, to remember good times better than bad. I think you might be shocked, returning to your childhood and finding how you and others behaved.

Beautifully done, John, you sure know where to press the keys on the keyboard.



If I went back, I'm afraid what I would see and hear would not be so beautiful, so I'll just stay where I am. I truly loved your poem.
