The Start of the rest of our Lives

NOTE: This is the song I preformed on Monday, June 1st for my Graduation Ceremony.

(Vs 1)
It’s the first day of the rest of my life.
It’s the last glance before I turn off the lights.
Oh, as I play my song and the words ring through your head,
Look back and remember all the good times we had.

(Chorus)
There were times we laughed, and times we cried,
Surprises that left us tongue-tied,
And days where silence was a rule.
We looked back through all the years, and couldn’t help feeling old.
We had jokes that everyone knew, and secrets we’ve never told.
Now as the sun goes down, don’t let the tears leave your eyes,
Because it’s just the start of the rest of our lives.

(Vs 2)
It’s the time for moving up, and moving on.
And our memories are still with us, they’re not gone.
Oh, and as the sun sinks down in a color-filled sky,
We can look forward to a glorious life.

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
And as I sit here with my six-string dressed in black,
We move on down the road, we should never look back.
Have no regrets, just memories,
And remember,
Remember,

(Chorus)
All the times we laughed, and times we cried,
Surprises that left us tongue-tied,
And days we hated school.
We looked back through all the years, and couldn’t help feeling old.
We had jokes that everyone knew, and secrets we’ve never told.
Now as the sun goes down, don’t let the tears leave your eyes,
Because it’s just the start of the rest of our lives.

(Chorus 2)
There were times we laughed, and times we cried,
Surprises that left us tongue-tied,
And days where silence was a rule.
We looked back through all the years, and couldn’t help feeling old.
We had jokes that everyone knew, and secrets we’ve never told.
I see nothing now but pale-blue skies,
And the start of the rest of our lives.
