Mackenzie Park
View chords used in this chart
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
[Refrão] 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
