Nearly Missed Lyrics - Elmopalooza! - Sesame Street

I nearly missed a rainbow 

I nearly missed a sunset 

I nearly missed a shooting star 

I nearly missed a rainbow 

I nearly missed a sunset 

I nearly missed a shooting star going by 

While lookin' at my feet, at a crack in the sidewalk 

An old tin can by the side of the road 

I nearly missed a rainbow 

I nearly missed a sunset 

I nearly missed a shooting star going by 

While studying a brand new hole in my sneaker 

And finding a quarter and an old bus token 

I nearly missed a rainbow 

I nearly missed a sunset 

I nearly missed a shooting star going by 

Looking down at the ground means you know where you're going 

No head up in the clouds to lead you astray 

But you can't ever have any kind of dream that way 

Looking down at the ground means you know where you're going 

No head up in the clouds to lead you astray 

But you can't ever have any kind of dream that way 

While looking at my feet at a crack in the sidewalk 

An old tin can by the side of the road 

I nearly missed a rainbow 

Elmo nearly missed a sunset 

I would've missed a shooting star going by 

I nearly missed a rainbow 

Don't want to miss that sunset 

I wouldn't miss a shooting start going by 

Passing me by 

Passing me by
