The Graduation Song

Hoping for a new beginningTo take me away from my surroundingsSo I can finally say goodbyeWondering what'll become of usWhen we are all old and grayAnd this time that we've spent togetherWas well worth our waitThink of the fun that we hadNot caring until the next morningIt feels so good to go through lifeWith your eyes half openWe are all one in the sameWe are lovers, and brothers, and sistersAnd we're most of our friendsThese years have passed us bySo fast it seems like we never got the chanceTo realize how good life really wasAnd let the moment lastAnd it feels like it was only yesterdayWhen we walked into this placeAnd said I can't wait till I get out of hereAnd now as we walk down this aisleWith four years all rolled up in a scrollYou can't help but thinkHey, Where did the time goWe are all one in the sameWe are lovers, and brothers, and sistersAnd we're most of our friendsHold on to your memoriesHold on to those little thingsAnd I hope you receive as much as you getCause when you die they're the only thingsThat you can take to your graveThese are the days of your lifeAnd don't let them pass you byCause you never know when you might take your last breathAnd so take a deep one tonightGood friends we had along the wayAnd good friends that didn't make it to where we stand todayBut we all know that they're looking down on usAnd even though their lives were cut shortWe still remember the little thing that made us laugh about themAnd do you remember when and where did you meet them?We are one in the sameWe are lovers, and brothers, and sistersAnd we're most of our friendsHold on to your memoriesHold on to those little thingsAnd I hope you receive as much as you getCause when you die they're the only thingsThat you can take to your graveAnd as we approach our final dayWhere we all will go our separate waysSo go hug and kiss your friendsAnd say goodbye to them
