Frank Sinatra - There Used To Be A Ballpark lyrics

Where the field was warm and green.

And the people played their crazy game

With a joy I'd never seen.

And the air was such a wonder

From the hot-dogs and the beer.

Yes, there used to be a ballpark right here.

And there used to be rock candy,

And a great big 4th of July

With the fireworks exploding

All across the summer sky.

And the people watched in wonder -

How they'd laugh and how they'd cheer!

And there used to be a ballpark right here.

Now the children try to find it,

And they can't believe their eyes

'Cause the old team just isn't playing,

And the new team hardly tries.

And the sky has got so cloudy

When it used to be so clear,

And the summer went so quickly this year.

Yes, there used to be a ballpark right here
