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.
