I have always been partial to his Tea for the Tillerman from which this song comes. It was released in 1970 which boggles my mind. It doesn't feel that long ago.

Thanks Kat. In 2005 he recorded it with Dolly Parton on the Dolly Parton album Those Were the Days!!!!
From Tea for the Tillerman which features the most recorded Cat Steven's song "Father and Son".(some 60 different recordings)
..but can you tell me, where(today) do the children play?
My Dear Berba,
Thank you for bringing Summer Holiday to me!
I jumped the bus and waved to those guys in the tams who kept showing up along side the road.
sblake,
You sent me scurrying to my music files as I knew I had that album. I'd forgotten about this song.
Children no longer play. They are scheduled.
There were houses, there were hoses
There were sprinklers on the lawn
There was an ironing board
And she would stand and made her understand him
And ask the children what they'd done at school that day
And the yard went on forever
There were blouses with print roses, checkered shirts and white levis
There was a frying pan and she would cook their dreams while they were dreaming
And later she would send them out to play
And the yard went on forever...
Jimmy Webb
The Yard went on forever
sblake,
Reading that makes me sad for what was.
and it did go on forever, and maybe we were/are lucky because it did.It expanded our horizons, and gave us a way of looking at the world that is different to today.
sblake,
We didn't live in fear, and I so agree that it expanded our horizons. There were few boundaries. The world was so wide and so filled with so much to see and do.
