There was a boy I met in kindergarten
C
He was sweet he said that I was smart
G# D#
He was great at sports and people liked him
Fm G7
and at naptime once we shared a mat
C G
I didn?t sleep, I sat and watched him breathing
C G
watched him dream for nearly half an hour
Cm G
Oooh
C
Then he woke up.
C
He pulled a scab of once playing kickball
F7 C
He kissed me quick and pressed it in my hand
G# A#
I took that scab and put it in a locket
G# G
All year long I wore it near my heart
C F7
He didn?t care if I was thin or pretty
Em G
and he was mine until we hit first grade
D# Gm
Oooh?
C
Then he woke up.
F
Last night I dreamed
Am Em G
a horse with wings flew down into my homeroom
Gm F
On its back, there he sat
A7 G
and he held out his arms
F
So we sailed above the gym
Em Am
Across the faculty parking lot
Gº A# G
My kindergarten boyfriend and I
Gº G
and a horse with wings
C G
Now we?re all grown up and we know better
C Em
Now we recognize the way things are
G# A#
certain boys are meant for kindergarten
G# G
Certain girls are meant to be alone
C
But I believe that any dream worth having
G
Is a dream that should not have to end
G# A#
so I?ll build a dream that I can live in
Fm G
and this time I?m never waking up
A# F
and we?ll soar above the trees
C G
Over cars and croquet lawns
A#
Past the church and the lake
G
And the Tri County Mall
A# F
We will fly through the dawn
G G#º Am
To a new kindergarten
Gm F Gº
Where naptime is centuries long
