Nearly Missed (sesame Street Version) Lyrics - Sesame Street

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 

I nearly missed a sunset 

I nearly missed a shooting star going by 

While studying a brand new hole in my sneaker 

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 

While looking at my feet, at a crack in the sidewalk 

An old tin can by the side of the road 

I nearly missed that rainbow 

Don't want to miss that sunset 

I wouldn't miss that shooting start going by 

Passing me by 

Going right by
