Hoping for a new beginning
|
To take me away from my surroundings
|
So I can finally say goodbye
|
Wondering what'll become of us
|
When we are all old and gray
|
And this time that we've spent together
|
Was well worth our wait
|
Think of the fun that we had
|
Not caring until the next morning
|
It feels so good to go through life
|
With your eyes half open
|
|
We are all one and the same
|
We are lovers, and brothers, and sisters
|
And most of all friends
|
|
These years have passed us by so fast
|
It seems like we never got the chance
|
To realize how good life really was
|
And let the moment last
|
And it feels like it was only yesterday
|
When we walked into this place
|
And said I can't wait till I get out of here
|
And now as we walk down this aisle
|
With four years all rolled up in a scroll, you can't help but think
|
Hey, Where did the time go
|
|
We are all one and the same
|
We are lovers, and brothers, and sisters
|
And most of all friends
|
Hold on to your memories
|
Hold on to those little things
|
And I hope you receive as much as you GAVE
|
Cause when you die they're the only things
|
That you can take to your grave
|
|
These are the days of your life
|
And don't let them pass you by
|
Cause you never know when you might take your last breath
|
And so take a deep one tonight
|
|
Good friends we had along the way
|
And good friends that didn't make it to where we stand today
|
But we all know that they're looking down on us
|
And even though their lives were cut short
|
We still remember the little thing that made us laugh about them
|
And do you remember when and where did you meet them?
|
|
We are all one and the same
|
We are lovers, and brothers, and sisters
|
And most of all friends
|
Hold on to your memories
|
Hold on to those little things
|
And I hope you receive as much as you GAVE
|
Cause when you die they're the only things
|
That you can take to your grave
|
|
And as we approach this final day
|
Where we all will go our separate ways
|
So go hug and kiss your friends
|
And say goodbye to them
|
