THE SWING
BY Allan Harper ( Just Allan)


interlude

I took a drive

back to my hometown

everything has changed
buildings renovated

or being knocked down!

Walking through the park where
we used to play

Carefree n innocent
Like my childhood of yesterday

(Chorus
If I only knew
what the future would bring
I would hold onto you
Like you’re holding onto the swing)


I can still hear

Kids laughter
Playing …………….Footy n C ricket

Chasing the girls
playing catch n kiss

Aero plane running with arms out wide
wingman by my side

Dads grilling on the barbeque

Moms dishing out the food

Girls in pretty dresses
Singing n swaying on the swing………..

(Chorus.
If i only knew
What the future would bring
I would hold onto you
Like you’re holding onto the swing

Hmm!! It’s getting dark
Everyone’s heading home

It’s gone quiet
I’m all alone

I can still hear you sing
Wearing that pretty dress
Swaying on the swing

If I only knew what the future would bring
I would hold onto you
Like you’re holding onto the swing
If I only knew
What the future would bring

There’s one thing I’m missing
That’s why I’m here
Holding onto the swing

Reminiscing

Sitting
Watching
Waiting

Missing….!

You.
