Since this is my daughter’s senior year also I include these lyrics dedicated to my seniors…………..

You’re gonna miss this
You’re gonna want this back

You’re gonna wish these days
Haven’t gone by so fast

These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you’re gonna miss this
