Sand Box<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI look out my back window<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At where you used to play<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I smile as I remember<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All the sunny days<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I recall your laughter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I\u2019d sit and watch you play<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sandbox that I built for you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will never be the same<\/p>\n\n\n\n
