I'm Not Gonna Cry- Class of 08

This is our senior class song! When you listen to it, it really gets to you. This song tells how things really feel. We are all leaving the place we have spent the last 18 working to stay at. We all say we hate school but the harsh reality of it is, we will miss it when we don’t have it. I know when we have breaks and days off it bugs me. I love hanging out with my friends and learning new things every day. But they also say the students sometimes teach the teachers just as much. To be a parent is to be a teacher. When you are in school you cannot be a parent (you can but not good). I do not know how life will be out side of school and working full time but I do know one thing. That is that this song does make me cry knowing I am leaving all the people that I truly care about for the army! To make something of my self, to serve my country, I love you all, Thank you all for being there for me when I needed you!

As this year rapidly comes to an end and we are rushing to get our final projects in I only have one thing to say. Class of 08 will truly be a memory that will never fade.

Sunday Shoes, Cap and Gown
The whole town gathered around
Waited 18 years now it's all coming down to this.
I scanned the crowd and it fills my soul
My best friends all here in rows
No turning back, Now its time to walk that line
This tassel is gonna turn
But when the moment passes by
We'll just walk away
Then slowly grow apart

But I'm not gonna cry, no
Not one sad or happy tear
I've waited my whole life
Now I'm gonna fly right outta here

It's a bittersweet goodbye, but I'm not gonna cry

Friday night, football games,
First loves and first heartbreaks,
It didn't matter who won or lost,
Only how we played,
Memories as good as gold,
Tearin' up those mountain roads,
racin' out 53, to old Georgetown,
sure we made a little trouble,
but learned from every mistake,
so theres no regret,
we've done the best we could

so I'm not gonna cry, no
not one sad or happy tear
I've waited my whole life
now I'm gonna fly right outta here

these have been the best years of my life
so I'm not gonna cry

its been a lonely, winding journey
and we've lost a few along the way
still we've hung in there through the tribulations
now its time to celebrate
its our graduation day

so I'm not gonna cry
not one sad or happy tear
I've waited my whole life
so I'm gonna fly right outta here

this has been the best day of my life, so I'm not gonna cry

its a bittersweet goodbye, I'm not gonna cry
