Graduation Day

(album: Tore Down - 1974)

In a room filled with flowers and happy people all around
One stands out from all the rest dressed in cap and gown
With a smile of love and kindness as she looks my way
You should see the pride I feel inside Graduation Day

May God always be as proud of you as I am
May he bless each thing you do is my prayer to him
Seems like only yesterday you were my little girl at play
Now in cap and gown Graduation Day

A million mem'ries flood my mind as I watch you take your place in line
A part of me conceived through love's creation
A happy kind of sadness seems to fill my eyes while I watch my dreams
In cap and gown you look my way Graduation Day

May God always be as proud of you as I am
May he bless each thing you do is my prayer to him
Seems like only yesterday you were my little girl at play
Now in cap and gown Graduation Day
