We're all 8rowif18 aparl now so uddenly, so fa t We've al\ had many memories tlope they will la t
The miles we 8ave, the tear we cried The Lime has come to say 8oodbye Life will never be the same, for so much we have 8ained.
Three years to8ether that no one can chaf18e If we all have faith in what we believe in We'll wait for the day to see each other 88ain
We'll move on to our dream now And let nothif18 in the way
But, never for8et the friend hips, we've made durif18 th~ memorable days.
