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 the 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 apartment,

A mattress on the floor where we slept.

We lived small but we dreamed big,

And love was growing where we lay...

Back then I could only think of now, Yeah,

But now I look back and wonder how.

How could I have wished away the time,

When life was simple and 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 that night,

I wanna go back, I'd give anything to go back.

I wanna go back to 116th.
