Kindergarten Boyfriend

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 nap-time once we shared a mat I didn't sleep, I sat and watched him breathing Watched him dream for nearly half an hour Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh 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 Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Then, he woke up Last night, I dreamed a horse with wings Flew down into my home-room On its back, there he sat And he held out his arms So, we sailed above the gym Across the faculty parking-lot My kindergarten boyfriend And I 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 your church and the lake And the Tri-County mall We will fly through the dawn To a new kindergarten Where nap-time is centuries long
