This Used To Be My Playground
Written by Madonna and Shep Pettibone

This used to be my playground (used to be)
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Whenever I was in need
Of a friend
Why did it have to end
And why do they always say

Don't look back
Keep your head held high
Don't ask them why
Because life is short
And before you know
You're feeling old
And your heart is breaking
Don't hold on to the past
Well that's too much to ask

This used to be my playground (used to be)
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Whenever I was in need
Of a friend
Why did it have to end
And why do they always say

No regrets
But I wish that you
Were here with me
Well then there's hope yet
I can see your face
In our secret place
You're not just a memory
Say goodbye to yesterday (the dream)
Those are words I'll never say (I'll never say)

This used to be my playground (used to be)
This used to be our pride and joy
This used to be the place we ran to
That no one in the world could dare destroy

This used to be our playground (used to be)
This used to be our childhood dream
This used to be the place we ran to
I wish you were standing here with me

That's a good example....not much to the song, but her vocal style made it work....

There were some videos on VH1 this morning from Faith Hill....I had never paid any attention to her, and don't know if the two songs they played were representative..but the vocal style was so .... uninspired.....the same material in Madonna's hands probably would have worked a lot better.....

One of my favorite Madonna ballads is the Spanish version of "You'll See"...

Veras (You'll See)

Tu piensas que yo no podre vivir sin ti
Tu piensas no podra sobrevivir
Que nada me queda, si no estas junto a mi
Veras que no es asi

Tu piensas que jamas sere feliz sin ti
Que destruiste al fin mi corazon
Que no voy a descubrir la forma de volver atras
Sin ti, yo se que si

Estribillo:

Ya lo veras
No necesito a nadie mas
Podre resistir
Voy a poder seguir
Lo hare por mi
Sera mi gloria personal
Nadie, ni tu, me la podra quitar
Veras

Acepta la verdad, no llorare por ti
Yo se que asi sera, podre salir
Voy a saltar sin red, y no voy a caer
Sera mejor sin ti

(estribillo)

Veras
(Translation:
You think I won't be able to live without you
You think: she won't be able to survive
That I have nothing left if you're not by my side
You'll see, it's not like that

You think I'll never be happy without you
That finally you destroyed my heart
That I won't find my way back
Without you, I know I will

Chorus:

You will see
I don't need anyone else
I will resist
I'll manage to go on
I'll do it for myself
It will be my personal glory
No one, not even you, can take it from me
You'll see

Accept the truth, I will not cry for you
I know it'll be so, I will pull through
I'll jump without a net, and I'm not going to fall
It will be better without you

(chorus)

You'll see )
