There I Was Standin' On My Swing

There I Was Standin' On My Swing Verse 1 When I think of those memories so very clear A little boy flyin' through a summer nights air I reached for those stars floating so far above Could I soar beyond, could I touch love Verse 2 That golden moon it called down to me Here I am waitin' child, feather light you'll be Then a soft breeze blew coolin' my face While I flew and wondered about that place Chorus There I was standin' on my swing A little man wishin' that he had wings Spent so many nights just a wondering And there I was standin' on my swing Verse 3 What's holdin' me back from travelin' up there What is it that's keepin' this boy down here It was such a strange world for my contemplation With one kid dreamin' 'bout a new destination Chorus: Repeat Twice There I was standin' on my swing A little man wishin' that he had wings Spent so many nights just a wondering Yeah there I was standin' on my swing Tag lines: Fading There I was standin' on my swing There I was standin' on my swing © Copyright 2015 Robert William Gruhn - BMI - All Rights Reserved
