[Verse] We once ran wild through fields of gold Climbed old trees we were fearless and bold The summers stretched like endless skies But time it slipped right through our eyes [Chorus] Take me back to bright-eyed days To secret trails and hideaway plays When the world was ours no need to pretend I wish the clock would let us bend [Verse 2] Chalky sidewalks young hands would scrawl Dreams too big for a world so small Underneath the fading twilight's glow We were kings and queens long ago [Chorus] Take me back to bright-eyed days To firefly nights and childish maze When laughter echoed like carefree winds Oh time I beg can we begin again [Bridge] Now the mirror holds a stranger's face Lines and days I can't replace But if I close my weary eyes The echoes of youth still rise [Chorus] Take me back to bright-eyed days To candy clouds and fear that sways When the future was endless no chains to bind In the heart of a child joy’s easy to find
