And there used to be a ballpark where the field was warm and green |
|
And the people played their crazy game with a joy I'd never seen |
|
And the air was such a wonder from the hot dogs and the beer |
|
Yes, there used to be a ballpark right here |
|
And there used to be rock candy and a great big 4th of July |
|
With the fireworks exploding all across the summer sky |
|
And the people watched in wonder, how they'd laugh and how they'd cheer |
|
And there used to be a ballpark right here |
|
Now the children try to find it and they can't believe their eyes |
|
'Cause the old team just isn't playing and the new team hardly tries |
|
And the sky has got so cloudy when it used to be so clear |
|
And the summer went so quickly this year |
|
Yes, there used to be a ballpark right here |
