Best Friends

I was six and new at school
Alone at recess, feeling blue
You said "Hello" and asked me to come play first base on your team

Guess my grin lit up my face
You laughed and yelled, "Go take your base"
From that day on I knew my place was on the team with you

If I'm a rainbow, then you're the sun
Shining all my lovely colors on everyone
If I'm a paper, you're the pen
You bring out the best in me, you're my best friend

Now we're in a harder class
I'm good at writing, you like math (ah)
You helped me draw a pictograph
We wrote a poem together

You've got lizards, I have frogs
You've got cats and I have dogs
Lizards, frogs, and cats and dogs, what a family

If I'm a rainbow, then you're the sun
Shining all my lovely colors on everyone
If I'm a blossom, you're the tree
Always best friends, you and me

We keep our deepest secrets
We share our weirdest dreams
No one knows me better than you or knows you better than me

And even when we're 93
We'll sit beneath the apple tree (ah)
And share our favorite memories
And laugh until we cry

If I'm a rainbow, then you're the sun
Shining all my lovely colors on everyone
If I'm a paper, you're the pen
You bring out the best in me, you're my best friend

If I'm a bluebird, then you're my song
That I'll sing so sweet for you all my whole life long
If I'm a blossom, you're the tree
Always best friends, you and me
Always best friends, you and me
