Hoping for a new beginning

To take me away from my surroundings

So I can finally say goodbye

Wondering what'll become of us

When we are all old and gray

And this time that we've spent together

Was well worth our wait

Think of the fun that we had

Not caring until the next morning

It feels so good to go through life

With your eyes half open



We are all one and the same

We are lovers, and brothers, and sisters

And most of all friends



These years have passed us by so fast

It seems like we never got the chance

To realize how good life really was

And let the moment last

And it feels like it was only yesterday

When we walked into this place

And said I can't wait till I get out of here

And now as we walk down this aisle

With four years all rolled up in a scroll, you can't help but think

Hey, Where did the time go



We are all one and the same

We are lovers, and brothers, and sisters

And most of all friends

Hold on to your memories

Hold on to those little things

And I hope you receive as much as you get

Cause when you die they're the only things

That you can take to your grave



These are the days of your life

And don't let them pass you by

Cause you never know when you might take your last breath

And so take a deep one tonight



Good friends we had along the way

And good friends that didn't make it to where we stand today

But we all know that they're looking down on us

And even though their lives were cut short

We still remember the little thing that made us laugh about them

And do you remember when and where did you meet them?



We are all one and the same

We are lovers, and brothers, and sisters

And most of all friends

Hold on to your memories

Hold on to those little things

And I hope you receive as much as you get

Cause when you die they're the only things

That you can take to your grave



And as we approach this final day

Where we all will go our separate ways

So go hug and kiss your friends

And say goodbye to them
