Kindergarten Days - Charles Esten

This is where I learned to read and write

And I learned how to share without a fight

I learned to do my work 'til it’s done

And I learned to be kind to everyone

Now it’s almost over

I can see the summer haze

But I won’t forget my kindergarten days

I learned to be a friend on this playground

And get back on my feet when I fall down

I learned to follow rules when there’s a game

And that we all are different, but mostly we’re the same

And I’ve grown much older

In, oh, so many ways

But I won’t forget my kindergarten days

I remember my first day

When I held my mama’s had

I was shy, and I felt like I might cry

But then I met my teachers

And all the brand new friends I’d come to know

And I said «Mama, you can go»

Seeing the big kids walking on the yard

I hear the work they do is kinda hard

I used to think, I never would know how

I wasn’t ready then, I’m ready now

With my friends beside me

We will set this world ablaze

And I won’t forget my kindergarten days

So I thank my teachers

And these parents, I amaze

And I won’t forget my kindergarten days

Oh, these days, kindergarten days
