The Rainbow Kindergarten of My Dreams Lyrics

I was five years old goin' on six

I was a lonely boy, you were the kindest chicks

In the Rainbow Kindergarten at the outskirts of town

'Twas the best place you could be for every kid around

It took a little while to get to know you two

'Cause I was in the Red group and you were in the Blue

But when I think about those days, the clearest things I see

Are the faces of Mary and Maeleen

Well, I guess it's kind of hard to tell when something's really over

I guess it's kind of hard to know what childhood memories mean

But even after all these years a part of me is still there

In the Rainbow Kindergarten of my dreams

You stayed with me throughout the years

Through all the laughs and all the tears

We wore our young and restless teenage hearts upon our sleeves

Through winter nights and autumn days and summer eves

And we all recall one early spring

A school in shock and the church bells ringin'

When I look back upon that day through all the tears I see

The sweet faces of Mary and Maeleen

Well, I guess it's kind of hard to tell when something's really over

I guess it's kind of hard to know what childhood memories mean

But even after all these years a part of me is still there

In the Rainbow Kindergarten of my dreams

Well the years have passed and don't ask me how

We were five years then and we're fifty now

We've got kids of our own that keep us up at night

We've begun to understand in every dark there's light

And yeah we might be getting weaker, we might be getting older

But just the other night I kissed my wife and I told her

I still think this world's a pretty damn good place to be

When you have friends like Mary and Maeleen

So I guess it's kind of hard to tell when something's really over

I guess it's kind of hard to know what childhood memories mean

But even after all these years a part of me is still there

In the Rainbow Kindergarten of my dreams

In the Rainbow Kindergarten of my dreams

In the Rainbow Kindergarten of my dreams
