Good Graduation Songs...Help! — Page 2

there is also "In Our Hands" from SMILE, which is arranged for a female vocal ensemble (in the score) very beautifully, and might easily be translated to a mixed group. It's a nice melody, with the right sentiment. This score, even being from a failed musical, doesn't get its due respect.

The Graduatation Song- Friends Forever- Vitamin C...


Ummm Bway Songs-

"For Good"- Wicked
"No Day Like Today"- Rent
"One Song Glory"- Rent
"Goodbye"- Producers

All of the ones suggested are good... if you're willing to choose a non-Broadway song, I recommend "All the Days" by FM Static.

"Running through the high school hallways
This is all we've known until now
And I don't ever wanna slow down
Packed up and I'm ready to go now

All the days we've been traveling together
I won't even look over my shoulder
Till I find a cure for getting older."

"Behold the Hills of Tomorrow" (Merrily)
"One Moment In Time" (Whitney Houston)
"No Day But Today" (Life Support section/finale) (RENT)
"I Sing the Body Electric" (FAME - film)

Goodbye Until Tomorrow - last 5 years
if we hold on together - land before time (not a broadway song but very pretty)
if we never meet again - rags (cut song)
i will never leave you - side show
the prayer - josh groban & charllote church

"Friends are Friends Forever"

Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
I can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter of your life is through

But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

And with the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you live in
Is the strength that now you show

We'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends
