  			E                F#m 
Well once upon a time 
B                      E 
When I held you in my arms 
                    F#m 
On a blanket in the grass 
B                            E 
Where we'd watch the falling stars 
                     F#m 
Under that old maple tree 
B                         E 
We'd share secrets in the dark 
                    F#m 
Now I sit here all alone 
                   B 
Watching children play 
              E 
In Mackenzie Park 
 
       A       F#m          G#m     A 
And we lived, laughed, and loved as if 
E 
There were no tomorrow 
   A         F#m     G#m   A 
Up until the day you went away 
B 
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
