lyrics

Graduation Day

Graduation day, it always comes before too long
Always comes before too long
Graduation day, it’s time to sing a different song
Time to sing a different song
Graduation day, it’s time to learn to play
Learn to play another game

Say goodbye to all our friends
I hope this sunset never, ever ends

Graduation day, it always comes before too long
Always comes before too long
Graduation day, oh won’t you make my poor heart strong
Help me move it all along
Graduation day, I won’t stay another day
I’ve got another thing to say

Say goodbye to all my books
Cherish all these last goodbyes and all of these last looks
No longer boys, no longer girls
Open up my arms and take on the world
