Bobby Caldwell - Take Me Back To Then Lyrics






When I was young
I used to play
On the sand by the bay
What I've got now
I'd give it all away
Just to have some fun
Life was all
I had a ship
And sailed it to the end
Why can't I go there again
Take me back to then
When life was mellow
Where we had golden sun
Take me back, I said
I can't continue
With the world I'm in
Playing in the park
Every afternoon
I've grown old
Far too soon
Someone please tell me why
I can't be made to see
What good's left in my life
Is this the end of me
There's a tear
For all the dreams
That I left behind
They'll always be on my mind

    Dang, like you would think by being born in the Disco era that me, being a Young person I wouldn't know what this song was about but I learned from this song, I live by this song. It haunted to the point where it was like a message saying "Don't look back, he's right behind that door!!" I would play this song so many times when we had the Album. But dang, Mr. Caldwell told me it was about like my "first love" situation...

  12. P.... A....

    food for the soul.

    I've missed this song, it was one of my favorites when I was little. It used to super depress me though with nostalgia overload. I don't know why but as adult it applies more than ever but it does hit as hard anymore. My sis used to look at me like I was nutty cause I used to play it over and over. Not the usual choice for a 4yr old I guess but him and Billy Joel were too cool n smooth for words.

    Quite simple one of the most beautiful songs, which everyone should be able to relate to. It's very hard to type when tears are rolling down your face. I quite simply love this song, and the feelings it draws forward.

    子供だった頃　よく遊んでいた
    波打ち際の砂浜で
    今の暮らしのために　捨て去ってしまったもの
    ほんのちょっとの楽しみのために
    人生はいつも　船に乗って　最後まで行くようなもの
    もう二度とは戻れない 

    あの頃へ連れて行ってほしい　ゆったりした生活
    太陽は金色に輝いて見えた　あの頃へ戻りたい
    今の生活には　耐えられそうにないんだ　そう思うんだよ

    公園で遊んでいた　午後になるといつも
    こんなにも早く　大人になってしまうなんて
    何でこうなってしまったのだろう　誰か教えてほしい
    なぜ見えてこないんだろう
    素晴らしいものは何もかも　置き忘れてきてしまった
    とうとうこうなってしまった
    ずいぶん前に　夢のために流した涙
    決して忘れてはいないんだけど 

    あの頃へ連れて行ってほしい
    ゆったりした生活　太陽は金色に輝いて見えた
    あの頃へ戻りたい
    今の生活には　耐えられそうにないんだ
    そう言ったんだよ
