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
In the wide world.
You can sit here if you want.
I had never seen anything so beautiful in my life.
She was like an angel.
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 just sat next to her on that bus
And had a conversation all the way to school.
My back's crooked like a question mark.
Next to mama, no one ever talked to me
Or asked me questions.
Are you stupid or something?
Mama says, "stupid is as stupid does."
I'm jenny.
I'm forrest-- forrest gump.
From that day on, we was always together.
Jenny and me was like peas and carrots.
She taught me how to climb.
Come on, forrest, you can do it.
I showed her how to dangle.
"a good little..."
She helped me learn how to read,
And I showed her how to swing.
Sometimes, we'd just sit out
And wait for the stars.
Mama's going to worry about me.
Just stay a little longer.
For some reason, jenny didn't never want to go home.
O.K., jenny, I'll stay.
She was my most special friend.
My only friend.
