Lyrics

You hung the tire swing,
Underneath the old maple tree
I remember how you laughed, it
Rang through the trees above me
Back and forth
Up and down
In and out
Round and round
No, we can’t go back again, but
oh, I’ll always remember when


Just a tire and some twine, but
This was the first of many times
You pushed me higher than I
Ever thought I’d go
Up and down
Back and forth
In and out
Right on course
No, we can’t go back again, but
oh, I’ll always remember when

It was more than a lifetime away
But even just yesterday

I remembered something that you said, and
Found the strength to move ahead, I
Have to think of all I would have missed, if
You’d never loved me (through)
Ups and downs
Ins and outs
Round and round
With no doubt
No, we can’t go back again, but
oh, I’ll always remember--
No, we can’t go back again, but
oh, I’ll always remember when
