Don't Say Good-bye

It's Graduation day today

When summer ends you'll be on your way

It's hard to believe it's gone so fast

And all of our memories fall into the past

It amazes me to think of next year

Going to classes without having you near

Things won't be the same without you around

And I can't let go of the friendship I've found



So laugh with me; don't say goodbye

Let's stop searching for answers to why

Time moves slow when it should go fast

But speeds so quickly to the day I'll see you last

Could we have just one more year?

Perhaps we could stay forever here

Because the future is blurry; it scares me to see

What life has in store for you and for me



So hit the breaks for a moment; ease up off the gas

Because I don't wanna spend life looking to the past

Let's wait for a moment and take it all in

If we can't then this is a race I don't want to win

I've got all I need with you at my side

So slow down a little; let's try to decide

How we can stretch these moments on

And try to stop the approaching dawn



But in the end; life goes on

And one of these days I know you'll be gone

All I can say is, on that day

When you leave me to find your way

On your own; wherever you roam

I hope you always find your way home

And there I'll be waiting for you, my friend

Just because we're apart doesn't mean this has to end.
