LYRICS
[Verse 1]
A faded picture, black and white,
A schoolyard scene in morning light.
Kids are playing, smiles so wide,
Frozen in time, where dreams reside.
[Chorus]
Take me back to fifty-six,
When laughter echoed, hearts were fixed.
In a world so simple, pure, and free,
Oh, the past comes alive in front of me.
[Verse 2]
There’s Johnny, with his crooked grin,
Mary’s ribbon tied up neat and thin.
The teacher’s chalk in a steady hand,
Drawing futures they’d never planned.
[Chorus]
Take me back to fifty-six,
When laughter echoed, hearts were fixed.
In a world so simple, pure, and free,
Oh, the past comes alive in front of me.
[Bridge]
The bell rings loud, the kids all run,
Chasing dreams beneath the sun.
Now they’re gone, but their spirits stay,
In these photos of a bygone day.
[Chorus]
Take me back to fifty-six,
When laughter echoed, hearts were fixed.
In a world so simple, pure, and free,
Oh, the past comes alive in front of me.
[Outro]
I see their faces, young and bright,
Living life in black and white.
Their stories linger, they hold the key,
To the heart of who we used to be.
