Lyrics

Back Behind The Schoolyard

I can?t believe it?s you
I was wondering if I would see you again
Twenty years have just flown by
You look better now than you ever did

Now I finally got a chance to make things right
I?m sorry for the way I pushed you out of my life
Could you still love me?

Back behind the schoolyard where nobody could see
I kissed you and you kissed me
Back behind the schoolyard where nobody could see
You took my hand and gave me your ring
And we danced underneath the moonlight
We danced underneath the moonlight

I always thought too much
I over analyzed every feeling inside me
We were only seventeen. I thought what do we know
We need time to grow

If I had the chance to do it all again
I?d go back to the day when you held my hand and said
Would you dance with me?

Back behind the schoolyard where nobody could see
I handed back the ring you gave to me
Back behind the schoolyard where nobody could see
I wanted time to run and be free
So we just danced underneath the moonlight
We danced underneath the moonlight

I remember when you said goodbye
Your father found a job in South Carolina
You asked me one last time to come with you
I smiled, then I kissed you goodbye

I can?t expect that you will feel the same as then
I know that time has a funny way of steppin? in
But would you dance with me?

Back behind the schoolyard where nobody can see
I?ve had the chance to run and be free
Back behind the schoolyard where nobody can see
I?ll gladly take your ring if you agree
And we can dance underneath the moonlight
I wanna dance for the rest of our lives.
