John Forrest Finds Himself

Transcription

And I don't know When I went on my first outdoor picnic, But I do remember The first time I heard the sweetest voice <i>In the wide world.</i> You can sit here if you want. <i>I had never seen anything</i> <i>so beautiful in my life.</i> <i>She was like an angel.</i> Well, are you going to sit down or aren't you? What's wrong with your legs? Um, nothing at all, thank you. My legs are just fine and dandy. <i>I just sat next to her</i> <i>on that bus</i> <i>And had a conversation</i> <i>all the way to school.</i> My back's crooked like a question mark. <i>Next to mama, no one</i> <i>ever talked to me</i> <i>Or asked me questions.</i> Are you stupid or something? Mama says, "stupid is as stupid does." I'm jenny. I'm forrest-- forrest gump. <i>From that day on,</i> <i>we was always together.</i> <i>Jenny and me was</i> <i>like peas and carrots.</i> <i>She taught me</i> <i>how to climb.</i> Come on, forrest, you can do it. <i>I showed her</i> <i>how to dangle.</i> "a good little..." <i>She helped me</i> <i>learn how to read,</i> <i>And I showed her</i> <i>how to swing.</i> <i>Sometimes,</i> <i>we'd just sit out</i> <i>And wait for the stars.</i> Mama's going to worry about me. Just stay a little longer. <i>For some reason,</i> <i>jenny didn't never</i> <i>want to go home.</i> O.K., jenny, I'll stay. <i>She was my most</i> <i>special friend.</i> My only friend.
