LEAVING ON A HIGH

(Tom Kirkham and Matthew Crossey)

Whatever the story you’re reading,

A chapter will come to a close.

Whatever the movie you’re watching,

You know that the credits will roll.

Whatever the length of the journey,

The ending will always appear.

But with all that you know,

And all that you’ve grown,

It’s clear that you’ve got nothing to fear.

So goodbye, goodbye, thanks for the mem’ries.

Goodbye, goodbye, thanks for the fun.

Goodbye, goodbye, it’s time to fly.

Goodbye. We’re leaving on a high.

Remember all those who inspired you,

Or picked you back up when you fell.

Remember the sound of the laughter,

The welcoming ring of the bell.

Remember the brill’ant adventures,

With all of the friends that you met,

Cos with all of the fun,

And all that you’ve done,

You’re never ever gonna forget.

So goodbye, goodbye, thanks for the mem’ries.

Goodbye, goodbye, thanks for the fun.

Goodbye, goodbye, it’s time to fly.

Goodbye. We’re leaving on a high.

We’re leaving on a high.

We’re leaving on a high.

 THESE ARE THE DAYS

Music & Lyrics by Jeanette Healey

I remember that first day, the unfamiliar door.

Looking out of the window, sitting down on the floor.

Seeing all of the faces, the strangers I didn't know,

Wondering when the clock would tell the time I could go.

Those times are long gone but I see

The mem'ries I'm ta king with me.

These are the days, these are the days that I will miss in a while.

These are the days, these are the days that I will think of and smile.

And if I'm far away and lonely I will

Look back and see

These are the days I'll keep with me.

I remember the good times, the games we had in the sun.

I remember the hard times when we didn’t get on.

Growing into the next year and looking back at the past,

Wondering if the clock will keep on turning so fast.

Those times are long gone but I see

The mem'ries I'm ta king with me.

These are the days, these are the days that I will miss in a while.

These are the days, these are the days that I will think of and smile.

And if I'm far away and lonely I will

Look back and see

These are the days I'll keep with me.

These are the days, these are the days that I will miss in a while.

These are the days, these are the days that I will think of and smile.

And if I'm far away and lonely I will

Look back and see

These are the days I'll keep with me.
