Madonna – This Used To Be My Playground Album: Something To Remember 1992 HQ Lyric: This used to be my playground This used to be my childhood dream This used to be the place I ran to Whenever I was in need Of a friend Why did it have to end And why do they always say Don’t look back Keep your head held high Don’t ask them why Because Life is short And before you know You’re feeling old And your heart is breaking Don’t hold on to the past Well that’s too much to ask This used to be my playground This used to be my childhood dream This used to be the place I ran to Whenever I was in need Of a friend Why did it have to end And why do they always say No regrets But I wish that you Were here with me Well then there’s hope yet I can see your face In our secret place You’re not just a memory Say goodbye to yesterday Those are words I’ll never say This used to be my playground This used to be our pride and joy This used to be the place we ran to That no one in the world could dare destroy This used to be our playground This used to be our childhood dream This used to be the place we ran to I wish you were standing here with me This used to be our playground This used to be our childhood dream This used to be the place we ran to The best things in life are always free Wishing you were here with me
Video Rating: 4 / 5
haha, Madonna’s logic: star in a movie, play your song during the credits.
I like to listen to this song whenever nostalgia takes over
this use to go and skate and be free and be with friends my playground
This song is not really about your childhood, but your past. I love it.
Madonna…La meilleure pour livrer l’émotion à l’état brute…Cette chanson sera pour mon service funèbre…Hommage à vous…Mme Ciccone…
not a lover of madonna, but this is a very good song along with vogue. and doesetn just remind you of being a kid and make your heart wish for those days back, thanks mad d.
I love this song and video. Always one of my favorites. But it was such a shock to have her come out with this song in early 1992, this tender, introspective, even mainstream song (it was the theme song for a movie about baseball!); and then in late 1992 she put out the “Sex” book. In those years, she was always so hard to read. Always such a complex mixed bag.
One of those songs that “hit home”. Was never much of a Madonna fan, but this song is one of my favorites. The lyrics are second to none.
she needs to make more ballads…and start trends like she used to!!
this song is so beautiful! I still cry when I heard it.. i remember when i was child when i used to be happy all the time! good age!!! i miss it
madonna is a beautiful chameleon..she changes her colors and each is as beautiful as the last. a real renaissance woman
It’s possible that she’s been the most successful female artist.
I remember seeing this video the first time when i was in 7th grade. God can’t believe that it’s been that long. Seems only yesterday.
“A League of a Their Own”….enough said
I first heard this song when i was in Elementary, every time I listen to it I get emotional because I remember all the wonderful memories along side my family.
one of her best ballards this one
this reminds me of when i was growing up….and all the friends i have lost during the time it hurts to think of so much loss
I hope you look back and realise those cowards that bullied you had the mental activity of house flies. Like all bullies they were bigger and there were more of them right? Look back at the good times you had to yourself and don’t ever bother about kncukledragging morons.
I think that would be appropriate, children that grew to kill and those who died. This song would be fitting. Everyone should learn in the playground just to live, and be and enjoy, not silly barriers that turn us against one another. Good luck with your doco. I’ll never get over the lunacy that brought about that day. Fairs fair for all in the world, when anyone people are pushed down they flare up. History repeating.
My cousin passed away jan. 23 . 09. He was 29 years old. He barely spoke english when this song came out, and it remained one of his favourite songs. xoxoxox rip cugino mio questa canzone e per te
…Arguably one of Misses Madonna’s best works to date. What a heart-felt classic, timeless in melody and tramatic in emotion. She sets the ‘standard’ in pop music and few will ever see its’ like…
This song is for everyone that have to someone especial person in the heart… good bless you… kisses from Mexico
I know this is a borderline taboo subject—but does anyone else think of 9-11 when they hear this song? Because I’m thinking of making a 9-11 video using this song and dedicating it to everyone who died that day.
This song is one of the most touching songs i have ever heard, it’s beautiful.
