Youth just isn't a time to waste So we've got to make it last Lots left to do in this year and a half So we'd better get on the ball. Or youth will slip through our fingers And then weU have no time at all So much of ourselves to give. And so little time to gove it; So much of our youth yet to live. And so little time to live it. But together we can do it - Make the most of what we've got. And we ll grow together forever. Not leave each other behind If we can stay close, as always. It won t even seem we've gone Friends will be friends forever, And memories will live on. Just one short year and a half to go, And time is fading fast; So start growing together today. Before today is part of the past!
