Graduation

So we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where were gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change.
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we wont be coming back
No more hanging out cause were on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don’t have another day
Cause were moving on and we cant slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn’t know much of love but it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real cool
Stay at home talking on the telephone
Wed get so excited, wed get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life’s not fair
And this is how it feels…
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, come whatever
We will still be, friends forever
So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that wont interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that its not goodbye
Keep on thinking its a time to fly
And this is how it feels….
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, come whatever
We will still be, friends forever
(la la la la la la la la……)
(We will still be, friends forever)
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly its like were women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that its not goodbye
Keep on thinking its our time to fly….
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, come whatever
We will still be, friends forever
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, come whatever
We will still be, friends forever
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, come whatever
We will still be, friends forever

How time flies! Three years’ school life has passed silently and here comes the end. I’ve changed a lot throughout the years: I used to be late for school, play jokes on others,and sleep in class but now I’m strict with myself and want to become better —— thanks to all my teachers, parents and classmates! Friendship and the lessons Iwas taught were really dear to me. As for my future plan, I’m going to study harder in senior high school and win a scholarship. But first of all, I hope I can perform well in the final exam and have a good summer vacation! Good luck to usall!
