Aaron Watson Mackenzie Park Lyrics

Mackenzie Park Lyrics

Well once upon a time 

 When I held you in my arms 

 On a blanket in the grass 

 Where we'd watch the falling stars 

 Under that old maple tree 

 We'd share secrets in the dark 

 Now I sit here all alone 

 Watching children play 

 In Mackenzie Park 

  

  

 (Chorus) 

  

 And we lived, laughed, and loved as if 

 There were no tomorrow 

 Up until the day you went away 

 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
