JJ Heller - Calvin And Hobbes Lyrics

We made up the rules as we went That's how the bulk of the summer was spent Wading through heather Lazing on limbs Wasting the day any way on a whim

Nobody saw him like me A real jungle cat, not just fabric and string Muscle and fiber Rustling fur It's all so hazy now I can't be sure

Was he a toy or a tiger Bouncing downhill in that radio flyer And was it all real Or did I pretend? I don't know but He was my friend

He'd wait by the door after school I'd come home whistling and next thing I knew We were tumbling backward Hunter and prey Still nice to know someone missed me all day

Was he a toy or a tiger Partner in crime and my trusted advisor And was it all real Or did I pretend? I don't know but He was my friend

So what was a memory And what was a dream And what would it matter If it's all the latter It still was the whole world to me

I thought I lost him one night Mom called his name and my dad held the light But he finally got found As sleep on the ground I still taste the tears When I think of it now

Was he a toy or a tiger Bouncing downhill in that radio flyer And was it all real Or did I pretend? All I know is he was my Tender and toothsome Water balloon-some Fly to the moon-some Sunday cartoon-some Real or pretend He was my friend
