The Playground - Tony Bennett

When I hear children at play

Memories come from far away

Taking me, holding my hand

To the playground wonderland

See-saw, lifting you high

Swings that let you touch the sky

Then, whenever you’re through

Painted ponies wait for you

It’s a world, summertime free

Where else would you rather be?

With a friend there at your side

Up you climb and down you slide

When I hear children at play

(I love to play in the playground)

(Every time I go, I know that I’ll find a friend)

Memories come from far away

Taking me, holding my hand

(I want to stay in the playground)

(When I’m there, I wish that it would never end)

To the playground wonderland

Taking turns, learning to share

Jungle Jim or teddy bear

Hide and seek, counting to ten

Oh, to play there once again

See-saw, lifting you high

Swings that let you touch the sky

Then, whenever you’re through

Painted ponies wait for you

When I hear children at play

(I love to play in the playground)

(Every time I go, I know that I’ll find a friend)

Memories come from far away

Taking me, holding my hand

(I want to stay in the playground)

(When I’m there, I wish that it would never end)

To the playground wonderland

To the playground wonderland
