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
