Aaron Watson - Mackenzie Park

Well once upon a time

When I held you in my arms

On a blanket in the grass

Where we'd watch the falling stars

Under that old maple tree

We'd share secrets in the dark

Now I sit here all alone

Watching children play

In Mackenzie Park





(Chorus)



And we lived, laughed, and loved as if

There were no tomorrow

Up until the day you went away

Leaving only sorrow





Now the stars don't shine

The way they used to do

Like they did when you were mine

Perhaps they're lonely too

You can barely read the names

That I carved inside a heart

Now I sit here all alone

Watching children play

In Mackenzie Park



(Chorus)



Sometimes I think of you

And I just have to smile

Though forever never was

At least we had a little while

How time flies when you're young

Just like the flicker of a spark

Now I sit here all alone

Watching children play

In Mackenzie Park
