This song was completely co-written—start to finish, words and music both—with my best friend, Hale, about whom you can read more here and here.
Written Spring 2002
Seems like so long ago
We sat thinking about tomorrow
Seems like so long ago
We sat thinking about tonight
It's the end now
We're moving on
And we can't wait
It's the end now
We're taking off
And we just want to stay
This is our goodbye
Thank you for these years
This is our goodbye
Thank you for these memories
Looking back through everything
We're perfect in this moment
As we face what our fears may bring
We see this was Heaven sent
It's the end now
We're moving on
And we can't wait
It's the end now
We're taking off
And we just want to stay
This is our goodbye
Thank you for these years
This is our goodbye
Thank you for these memories
As dawn moves into day
We wait for what's to come
And as we leave may
You stay in God's love.
This is our goodbye
Thank you for these years
This is our goodbye
Thank you for these memories
This is our goodbye
Thank you for these years
This is our goodbye
Thank you for these memories
This song was written expressly for our high school graduation. We performed it at the Senior Sunday evening service, a couple weeks before graduation. That should tell you what it was about.
