| . | One More Time, Playtime Once we whispered how it would be When we were grown, but never old Deaths mask would never catch us. Back then, when we couldn't grip a clue. Put on your childhood and come outside Make a moment with me Reveal your punched out heart Play patty cake in the sand castles Jump rope riddles down tow boat streams I promise not to peek through braided fingers I will let you hide in the mulberry's sanctuary I cross my once broken heart I will find you twice as shy Rock you in the cradle of reliance, rely on me Tickle that soft spot you know right where Climb up to the mansion in my tree Rain your secrets down like stars falling from velour skies Fall back in to the hopscotch days of lemonade wantings Pretend we drive cars that our parents could never afford Cutout paper people living in Hollywood daring the things we only exaggerate about. While time was taking a coffee break, my shoes got too small. My painted ponies lost their wings And I grew up against my grand design. ©All text is copyrighted and may be reproduced only with the express permission of the artist, all profits from reprint, transmission, etc., are the property of the author.
