New Vocals/guitars/mastered 8/2025. Written 9/2/2010. Looking back makes me want to go back to a simpler time. And coincidentally I would Like to Start all over again knowing then what I know now. A One Man Band Production.
Story behind the song
Nostalgic look back and a nod to all the great tunes that were a major part of the times and gave me my biggest musical influences.
Lyrics
Take me Back
Take me back to what I knew
when life was fun
and dreams came true
Take me back to where I grew
when the grass was green
and the skies were blue
Chorus
Take me back to all the tunes
the melodies and the words we knew
Dan and Jimmy reeling in the years
The Sounds of Silence filled our ears
Verse2
Take me Back to what I knew
when people worked
and told the truth
Take me back to where I grew
where the air was clean
and the flowers bloomed
Take me back when love was true
when hope and faith were all we knew
through all the days and all the years
we lived our lives without these fears
Bridge
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back to You
LEAD SOLO
Take me back to what I knew
Take me back to High School
when I met you and held your hand
we both knew it was part of the plan
Take me back to all the tunes
the melodies and the words we knew
To the Beatles and the Moody Blues
Badfinger and the Raspberries too
Take me back to what I knew
when life was fun
and dreams came true
Take me back to where I grew
when the grass was green
and the skies were blue
Take me back to all the tunes
the melodies and the words we knew
Dan and Jimmy reeling in the years
The Sounds of Silence filled our ears
Take me Back
Take me Back
Take me back to you.
