The story that scarlet crayon could tell

When Gwen drew it along the hallway
A
wall with a smile………

A distracted smile.

She didn’t know why, still don’t know why

It’s alright…..

For awhile

Sweet child, my sweet child

You see they saw

My initials on the kindergarten wall.

Oh the story my fingers could tell

Scrubbed my initials

Off the kindergarten wall

E7 A
I don’t know why, still don’t know why
E
That’s a lie!
