There's a time a for joy

A time for tears

A time we'll treasure through the years

We'll remember always

Graduation day

At the senior prom

We danced 'til three

And there you gave your heart to me

We'll remember always

Graduation day

Though we leave in sorrow

All the joys we've known

We can face tomorrow

Knowing we'll never walk alone

When the ivy walls

Are far behind

No matter where our paths may wind

We'll remember always

Graduation day

We'll remember always

Graduation day

Or tearing it down

Or probably more like hanging around

... and because there should be a Beatles answer for any music question...

"Good Day Sunshine" by The Beatles.

Speaking of graduation, do any of you "more experienced" folks recall a song from the 60s, I believe" that included the lyrics, graduation girl, i'm in love with you? I've been looking for this off and on ever since Gore invented the internet. Now I'm beginning to wonder if it's my imagination. That one line went this way: Grad Uuu aaation girl, I'm in love with you. Seems like part of the melody was similar to the common graduation song. A band with harmony like the Beach Boys, the Letterman, etc.

thanks,

However, in relation to the original question, here's a link to my favouritest summer-themed song ever: "Summer Fun" - The Barracudas complete with its fab intro.
