Hi, my hubby has mand a beautiful dvd to show at my son's high school grad party (all relatives). It is all pics of him since birth growing up, accomplishments and such. We need a couple of songs that would make good background music.... any ideas? Thanks!! Cookie

When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
Its a wonder
I can think at all ...

Or, maybe not. LOL

My Wish

It is a country song by Rascal Flatts


I think that it is a perfect song for a grad. dvd. I plan on using it for my sons when he graduates.

Beach Boys - Graduation Day

Theres a time a for joy
A time for tears
A time well treasure through the years
Well remember always
Graduation day

At the senior prom
We danced til three
And there you gave your heart to me
Well remember always
Graduation day

Take it away
Take five

Though we leave in sorrow
All the joys weve known
We can face tomorrow
Knowing well never walk alone

When the ivy walks
Are far behind
No matter where our paths may wind
Well remember always
Graduation day

Well remember always
Graduation (day) day

TOTALLY!! They played this at our oldest daughters high school graduation last spring and I bawled my eyes out.

YouTube - Alphaville Forever Young (Goldene Europa 1984)

Lets dance in style, lets dance for a while
Heaven can wait were only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever
We dont have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The musics for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders were getting in tune
The musics played by the madmen

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why dont they stay young

Its so hard to get old without a cause
I dont want to perish like a fading horse
Youth is like diamonds in the sun
And dimonds are forever

So many adventures couldnt happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams are swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

Here's a remake of Forever Young by Youth Group. Amazing as well.

Thank you so much for all the great suggestions--I am passing them on to my hubby!

Time to say goodbye - Andrea Bocelli... Beautiful and classical

Find Your Wings by Mark Harris

It's only for a moment
That you are mine to hold
The plans that heaven has for you
Will all too soon unfold
So many different prayers I'll pray
For all that you might do
But most of all I'll want to know
You're walking in the truth

And if I've never told you
I want you to know that
As I watch you grow
I pray that God will fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage
To dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings
So let my love give you roots
And help you find your wings

May passion be the wind that moves
You through your days
And may convictions keep you strong
Guide you on your way
May there be many moments
That make your life so sweet
But more then memories

I pray that God will fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage
To dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings
So let my love give you roots
And help you find your wings

It's not living if you don't reach for the sky
I'll have tears as you take off
But I'll cheer you as you fly
I will give you roots and help you find your wings

I always thought "River" by Garth Brooks off the Ropin' the wind album or "I Hope You'll Dance" by Lee Ann Womack, would be wonderful theme songs for a graduate.

I'd be careful with Green Day. Any song where the full title is Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) might be a wee bit bitter for this occasion. I don't mean to be negative, but I do always wonder a bit when it's played for something that should be happy.
