going back into time when we were kids, playing at the playground in our dusty sneakers.

was working with a new guitarist and he suggested i try to write some commercial and singable songs. I went back into time, reminiscing about how great it was to be a kid... life is sweet!

dusty sneakers
sweet times, easy rhymes, seemed so simple, was so fine,
long to be your playmate again, long to be your best friend.

you were eleven, i was nine, since wemet, i knew you were mine
we waited at the fence right after school, learned our abc's, learned the golden rule.

blue skies, ruslin' trees, dusty sneakers and dirty knees
laughin & playin and runnin around the playground...you and me.

closed eyes and wide smile, wish i could go back in time
long to be so young and free. dreamin of the time of you and me.

you were my hero & i was your girl, you were the best friend in the whole wide world
we made a vow that till the end of time, our hearts would always be intertwined...chorus

found my sneakers, in my closet on a rainy day, 'neath my mem'ries gathering dust
memries of us come up, was so long ago, but it seems like only yesterday
