A Day in My Past

[Intro] [Verse one] Taken out of the present day Transported to a better day Found myself in my childhood hometown in the year 1954 A time in my life I cherish now and forevermore [Verse two] I can see, smell it and hear it The sensation, it fills a pit Yet I cannot interact Only watch on with tact [Instrumental] [Bridge] A time where children played outside and steam engines traversed the valley My friends and I played in the hills, oh, such a sweet memory I can see it all in front of me It's enough to make anyone joyfully weepy [Chorus] A day in my past Oh, how it wasn't to last I wish I could stay longer As I walk the street further [Instrumental] [Verse three] I pass by the house of Mister Benson I was friends with his son Stopping by the railway This is my day and we lived in a better way [Verse four] Hearing and seeing the Large Prairies and Manors working As I still enjoy the smells and sounds their making These engines work as hard as their crews The fact that I'm only here temporarily gives me the blues [Bridge] I walk away and head down to the local bakery Ran by Mister and Missus Bradbury If only I could interact I can only look on and keep this past intact [Chorus] A day in my past Oh, how it wasn't to last My time here is running out I must leave, no matter how I protest and shout [Outro]
