There was a boy
I met in Kindergarten
He was sweet
He said that I was smart
He was good at sports
and people liked him
and at nighttime once
we shared a mat
I didn't sleep
I sat and watched him breathing
Watched him dream
for nearly half an hour
Oooooooooooooh
Then he woke up
He pulled a scab off
one time playing kickball
Kissed me quick
and pressed it in my hand
I took that scab
and put it in a locket
all year long
I wore it near my heart
He didn't care
if I was thin or pretty
and he was mine
until we hit first grade
Oooooooooooooh
Then he woke up
Last night I dreamed
a horse with wings
flew down into my homeroom
On it's back there he sat
and he held out his arms
So we sailed above the gym
accross the faculty parking lot
My kindergarten boyfriend
(and a horse with wings)
Now we're all grown up
and we know better
Now we recognize
the way things are
Certain boys are
just for kindergarten
Certain girls are meant to be alone
But I believe that
any dream worth having
is a dream that
should not have to end
So I'll build a dream
that I can live in
And this time I'm never waking up
And we'll soar above the trees
over cars and croquet lawns
Past the church
and the lake
and the tri-county line
We will fly through the dawn
to a new kindergarten
Where naptime is centuries long
Oooooooooooooh
Oooooooooooooh
Oooooooooooooh
Oooooooooooooh
Oooooooooooooh
