[Intro: Mike Love]
Right now, we'd like...
Do another song about school, we did it last time, I think...
This one's dedicated to everyone in the audience who's just graduated from grade school
Yeah
And all those of you who have graduated from junior high... or high-- Or high school
That is, if you happen to make it out of high school
Yeah
If you haven't, there's always hair school-- I mean...!
Night school
Summer school, I went there for two semesters, you don't have to tell me about that!
Anyway, right now, we'd like to do a song that was recorded several years ago by a group of singers who were very inspirational for our careers because they influenced Brian Wilson and his writing
Their group is The Four Freshmen, and their song, which we'd like to sing right now is called "Graduation Day."
[Verse 1]
There's a time for joy
A time for tears
A time we'll treasure through the years
[Chorus]
We'll remember always
Graduation day
[Verse 2]
At the senior prom
We danced 'til three
And there you gave your heart to me
[Chorus]
We'll remember always
Graduation day
[Bridge]
Though we leave in sorrow (Shh!)
All the joys we've known
We can face tomorrow
Knowing we'll never walk alone
[Verse 3]
When the ivy walks
Are far behind
No matter where our paths may wind
[Chorus]
We'll remember always
Graduation day
[Outro]
We'll remember always
Graduation
(Day)
Day
