Our Secret Place
Verse-1
Once upon a time when you and I were so much younger
And the world seemed so much bigger And the colours all would shimmer
You'd say
Won't you come on over and we'll swim out to the island
Lying just across the water
Where the sun shines so much brighter
And we can
Chorus-1
Spend all of our time together
In our secret place forever
Live like there is no tomorrow
Running laughing no more sorrow
Life in paradise passed so slowly
Days were magical just us only
Up above us blue sky glory living in our timeless story
Verse-2
Once upon a time when you and I are so much older
And the world seems so much smaller
And the colours all look dimmer
I'll say
Do you still remember all our times out on the island?
Lying just across the water where the sun shone so much brighter
Where we both
Chorus-2
Spent all of our time together
In our secret place forever
Lived like there was no tomorrow
Running laughing with no sorrow
Stared up at the clouds above us
Heard the screaming seabirds call us
Watched the ocean waters foaming
Stayed out 'til the next day dawning
Chorus-3
Lost in paradise just us only
Life was magical time passed slowly
Up above us blue sky glory
Living in our timeless story
Life in paradise passed so slowly
Days were magical just us only
Up above us blue sky glory
Living in our timeless story
