The quiet walks, The things we’ve done. Our senior year was lots of fun. We will have these moments to remember. So winter turns to summer, and the present disappears. The laughter we were glad to share will echo through the years. When other nights and other days, They find us gone our separate ways, We will have these moments to remember.
