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.
