GREEN DAY "TIME OF OUR LIVES"

^^;

[ladiixxpreciious]

umm... how about craig david - once in a lifetime?
that's our 8th grade promotion song lol

[thachhao]

Simple Plan - Grow Up

Before you say anything, I understand it's actually an inappropriate song in terms of its lyrics; but when graduates hear that song, it reminds them of their childhood. Therefore, I think it should make it quite appropriate.

[xkrndreamer]

i remember when the vitamin c's "graduation" came out when i graduated eight grade back in 2000.

Audio Adrenaline - Goodbye

[x`ind]

ugh the vitamin c song is soooo over used its not even sad anymore...

[oneday]

I remember that vitamin C song back in eighth grade... good times.
I second the grow up song.

[proFRESHional.]

i guess vitamin C - graduation because that's the only graduation song i know of.

[yujo]

For my graduation, they chose a song from the musical Wicked called "For Good."

[jess89]

^ahh wicked is really good.. except a senior died in a car accident last year and we used "for good" in memory of her..
they played vitamic C's "graduation" when i was in 8th grade too! haha.
i can't remember what they used for our seniors last year.

[_BeLLe*]

our song is green day-time of your life. which sucks because it's a good song, but the past classes have already used it.. like way back when.. hahah
i like "here's to the night"-eve 6 or "don't dream it's over"-sixpence none the richer. yeah..

[joogrlpekaun]

ugh the vitamin c song is soooo over used its not even sad anymore...

I know! That was my--you guessed it--8th grade graduation song, too. "Time of Your Life" is really overused, too, for everything from picture slideshows to...ugh...graduations in general. And that "Closing Time" song.

I'm empty. Um...here's where I wish I knew more songs in English.

[_obsession]

eve 6-here's to the night
ryan cabrera-take it all away

[Chillie]

Anything but the Vitamin C song. Or Green Day's Time Of Your Life.

[xx_melody]

This song is underrated (maybe because the majority of people have never heard it) but it's called:

I'll Remember You by No Secrets

The lyrics are pretty cheesy, but the song is BEAUTIFUL and touching and sad and all that =)

It has been so long since we have talked
I hope that things are still the same
hoping they will never change
cause what we had can't be replaced
don't let our memories fade away
keep me in your heart for always

You made me believe
that I can do almost anything
stood right by me
through the tears through everything

I'll remember you,
and baby that's forever true
you're the one that I'll always miss
never thought it would feel like this
I'll be there for you,
no matter what you're goin' through
in my heart you'll always be, forever baby
I'll remember you

I promise you I won't forget the times we shared, the tears we cried
You'll always be the sun in my sky
It may be fate that brings us back to meet again someday
Even though we go separate ways

You made me believe
that I can do almost anything
You stood right by me
through the tears through everything

I'll remember you,
and baby that's forever true
you're the one that I'll always miss
never thought it would feel like this
I'll be there for you,
no matter what you're goin' through
in my heart you'll always be, forever baby
I'll remember you

If the day should come when you need someone
you know that i'll follow
I will be there
Don't ever let there
be a doubt in your mind
'cause I'll remember you, you

I'll remember you,
and baby that's forever true
you're the one that I'll always miss
never thought it would feel like this
I'll be there for you,
no matter what your goin' through
in my heart you'll always be, forever baby
I'll remember you

Forever baby, I'll remember you

[Chillie]

Oh ya, ^ That's a good song too.
Reminded me of another one. A bit overused, but not as bad as others.

Sarah McLachlan - I Will Remember You

[forgottenmemories]

I don't know why, but I think Backstreetboys - Never gone will be a really good graduating song. Here's the lyrics:


I really miss you, there's something that I gotta say

The things we did, the things we said
Keep comin' back to me and make me smile again
You showed me how to face the truth
Everything that's good in me I owe to you

Though the distance that's between us
Now may seem to be too far
It will never separate us
Deep inside, I know you are

Chorus:
Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close, everyday
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've got to say goodbye
I know you would be forever in my life (yeah)
Never gone

No, no, no, no

I walk along these empty streets
There is not a second you're not here with me
The love you gave, the grace you've shown
Will always give me strength and be my cornerstone

(Somehow) somehow you found a way
To see the best I have in me
As long as time goes on
I swear to you that you will be

Chorus:
Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close (always close), everyday (everyday yeah)
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've got to say goodbye
I know you would be forever in my life (in my life, yeah)

Never gone (gone from me)
If there's one thing I believe (I believe)
I will see you somewhere down the road again
(I will see you somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere)

(Never gone) Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close (always close, always close), everyday (everyday, everyday)
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've got to say goodbye (yeah, yeah)
I know you would be forever in my life

Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are (in my heart is where you are)
Always close (always close), everyday (everyday)
Every step along the way

Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are




When my best friend graduated last year, this song made me cry.

[situponatree*]

[annabeelee]

[CALI-sweetie]

Ryan Cabrera- I Will Remember You

Eight years later time goes by fast
Got my memories and they will last
I try to keep it simple 'cos I hate goodbyes
I try to keep it simple by telling myself, that...

I will remember you
And all of the things that we've gone through
There is so much I can say
But words get in the way, so..
I will remember you
And all of the things that we've gone through
There is so much I can say
But words get in the way, so
When we're not together
I will remember you

I will remember... you

We're a picture in my mind
When I wanna find you I just close my eyes
You'll never be that far from me so don't say goodbye 'cos
You'll never be that far from me by telling myself, that...




The Calling - Our Lives

Is it love tonight
When everyone's dreaming
Of a better life
In this world
Divided by fear
We've gotta believe that
There's a reason we're here
Yeah, there's a reason we're here

Cause these are the days worth living
These are the years we're given
And these are the moments
These are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives

See the truth all around
Our faith can be broken
And our hands can be bound
But open our hearts and fill up the emptiness
With nothing to stop us
Is it not worth the risk?
Yeah, is it not worth the risk?
