You wouldn't believe how things have changed
Hardly anything looks the same
It used to be a quiet street now people pass on hurried feet
You wouldn't believe how things have changed on 116th

It was a place where love began
Where you and I walked hand in hand
On a summer night in late July I sang to you a lullaby
Not everything ends the way you planned on 116th

All we had was a little apartement, a matress on the floor where we slept
We lived small but we dreamed big
And live was growing where we lay

Back then I could only think of now
And now I look back and wonder how
How could I wished away the time when life was simple 'n' you were mine
I'd give all that I have to have just one more day

In your arms to feel you hold me tight
To sleep upon your chest at night
I wanna go back, I'd give anything to go back
I wanna go back to 116th
