Lyrics:
This used to be my playground (used to be)
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
[Long and movie versions only:]
Live and learn
Well the years they flew
And we never knew
We were foolish then
We would never tire
And that little fire
Is still alive in me
It will never go away
Can't say goodbye to yesterday (can't say goodbye)
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 (the dream)
Those are words I'll never say (I'll never say)
This used to be my playground (used to be)
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
[Short and movie versions only ending:]
This used to be our playground (used to be)
This used to be our childhood dream
This used to be the place we ran to
I wish you were standing here with me
[Movie version only ending:]
This used to be our playground (used to be)
This used to be our great escape
This used to be the place we ran to
This used to be our secret hiding place
This used to be our playground (used to be)
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

I can’t tell you what this song means to me. Came out at a time when I was still young with so much promise. Now I’m 42, lost. Alone. But I play this and it takes me back to those times when I was young. Keeps me hanging on. Weird how a song can do that.

This song takes me right back to the end of summer '92. A new girl moved into my apartment building, and invited me to a church youth group, and I couldn't come up with an excuse not to go. That night changed my life - for the first time people just accepted me, didn't make fun of me. Friends - the best things in life are always free! Flash forward 30+ years, and now I'm the church youth leader bringing together kids from many different backgrounds showing them that God loves them no matter who or what they've done. I think back fondly of Amanda and am so thankful for her and the time we had. I wish at times I could go back to our "playground" but know that time has moved on... Wishing you were here with me.

I agree. It says a lot on how chart positions are overrated and they mean literally nothing. Some of Madonna's most iconic hits are "Frozen, The Power of Good-Bye, Secret, Rain, Don't Tell Me, Beautiful Stranger, La Isla Bonita, Hung Up, 4 Minutes", one would think that they are all #1s, instead they all missed the top position. This song deserves more attention.

Songs like this are why I love her music so much. You are my people. She is the untouchable "it" girl. No Miley, Gaga, or whoever can touch the authenticity and bravado that is Madonna. Some come close (Pink!), but Madonna is one of a kind. She created her own lane. She did it despite who was biting what she tossed out there. Who stood up for her when the world despised her (or the music)? She did. Madonna has balls no man can touch (even Sean Penn). I wish I'd had an ounce of the courage she had to be who she came to be.

I'm a 56 year old married man with a beautiful family. I've become successful in my field of work. I like racing, I like shooting my guns, and my favorite band is Rush. However, no matter what time of day...what day of the week...wherever I am...this song brings me to my knees! I have to struggle to compose myself when I play it at work. The song is so painful yet I cannot stop playing it. I cry like a baby when this song plays over the end credits of "A League of Their Own." Madonna has pried her way into my soul with this masterpiece. It makes me want to visit the baseball fields I played in as a youngster and drive through the parking lot of my elementary school. And, I'm melancholy, once again.

How Madonna has not won an Oscar for soundtrack songs she’s written is outrageous. I get that she was controversial and the institution didn’t wanna seem to legitimize her but her talent is colossal. She’s one of the greatest songwriters, producers, and live performers in popular music. On a side note, she won both Stephen Sondheim and Andrew Lloyd Webber the only Oscars of their careers.

My dad served in the Navy in 1943 when the women baseball teams were formed and was in the Pacific and Atlantic during WWII. We lost him 4 years ago this month. I remember him telling stories of his time in the service, as a kid and how those were happy times for him, even though we were at war. I miss you dad, we lost you too early, still had time together, Rest in Peace and thanks for everything you taught me over the years, even though I didn't listen than!
