The Boy From Kindergarten
It's the first day of school
and my mom walks me to class.
There's so many kids here
I just want to turn and runaway fast.
We stop at my door
and she kisses my cheek
but as soon as I turn from her
my eyes meet yours and my knees grow weak.
You may not know me
or remember my face,
And you might think I'm a weirdo
but that's just not the case
Wherever you're at
and whoever you might be,
I need to tell you now
that you'll always be that boy from kindergarten to me.
I'm riding down the road on my bicycle
as I hear a car pull up beside me.
The window starts to roll down
and as I glimpse at the face behind it
I run smack into a tree.
You're out of the car in a flash
as you awkwardly race to my side.
But I hardly notice the pain
because as your soft hands pick me up
all I want to do is hide.
You may not know me,
or remember my face
And you might think I'm a weirdo
but that's just not the case.
Wherever you're at
and whoever you might be,
I need to tell you now,
that you'll always be that boy from kindergarten to me.
It's graduation day and everyone's buzzing
about how their life's going to change and who will be in it.
We each take our turns as they call us to the stage
and as I grab my diploma and walk up to the mike,
my heart's in my foot as I squeak out your name
You may not know me
or remember my face,
And you might think I'm a weirdo
but that's just not the case.
So wherever you go
and whoever you might be,
I need to tell you now,
that you'll always be that boy from kindergarten to me.
