Caps in sight
Days take flight
Morning sun
Golden light
Senior halls
Farewell calls
Echoed dreams
Through painted walls
Side by side
with hopeful pride
Trying hard
The tears to hide
Prom night glow
Music slow
Hearts kept time
To love\'s soft flow
Spin and sway
Steal the day
Counting down
While skies turned gray
Class rings shine
Your hand in mine
Every moment
Felt divine
Pictures snapped
Memories wrapped
Inside hearts
Where years had mapped
Laugh and cry
Ask each why
Beautiful things
Must say goodbye
Final test
gave our best
Facing futures
Unexpressed
Then came June
Far too soon
Like a fading
Summer tune
Names were read
Tears were shed
All those dreams
Rushed through our heads
Crowds would cheer
Yet crystal clear
Was the fear
Of losing dear
Diplomas high
Blue sky wide
You squeezed my hand
Stood by my side
Sweetheart mine
Through space and time
Our young love
Still chose to climb
But crossroads wait
And alter fate
Beyond those gates
On graduation date
The tassels turned
The bright lights burned
And one last question
In our hearts still yearned
Could high school sweethearts
Survive the world
Beyond the schoolyard
