It's been too long   Don't think I've seen you smile at me for quite a while   And we're too busy doing things   We haven't noticed what's missing      Where's the fun we used to have?   My childish ways and your sarcasm   Silly jokes and fairy tales   Where did we leave them?   Lost in the backyard      Your lasso, my tiara   My wand, your plastic bazooka   Why can't we be how we were in the backyard?      Your cowboy hat, my tutu   You hide and seek, I catch you   Why can't we be how we were in the backyard?   In the backyard      Simple days of hand in hand   And drawing our names in the sand   Somehow life just complicates   Our buried treasure, it just waits   Lost in the backyard      Your lasso, my tiara   My wand, your plastic bazooka   Why can't we be how we were in the backyard?      Your cowboy hat, my tutu   You hide and seek, I catch you   Why can't we be how we were in the backyard?   In the backyard      Lost in the backyard   Lost you in the backyard   Lost in the backyard      You can still meet me in the garden   You and I and hide behind the roses bed   You and I, you and I   Lost in the backyard again      Your lasso, my tiara   My wand, your plastic bazooka   Why can't we be how we were in the backyard?      Your cowboy hat, my tutu   You hide and seek, I catch you   Why can't we be how we were in the backyard?   In the backyard
