Memories fade but the feeling stays
Thinking 'bout those golden days
Running free without a care
Summer nights and fireflies
Simple love in the midnight air
Mamma's voice calling me home
Brotha's laugh echoing down the street
Those were the days I felt so whole
Now I'm chasing what's incomplete
Take me back, back, back to when
Life was simple, pure and free
Take me back, baby, take me there again
To the child that's still inside of me
Yeah, mmm, take me back
We were young and unafraid
Dreaming big beneath the stars
No one told us who to be
Just the rhythm in our hearts
Now the weight is getting heavy
Wish I could go back in time
Find that innocence I'm missing
In the corners of my mind
Take me back, back, back to when
Life was simple, pure and free
Take me back, baby, take me there again
To the child that's still inside of me
Oh, mmm, yeah
Memories fade but the feeling stays
I'm still that child in every way
