这首名为《毕业》（又名《永远的朋友》）的歌2000年风靡全美，演唱的女歌手艺名“维他命C”（Vitamin C）。朗朗上口的节奏，描绘贴切的歌词，栩栩如生地再现了毕业的感觉——一点点留恋，一点点怀念，一点点憧憬，一点点不知所措。毕业了，你在想些什么呢？你25岁的时候将会怎样？你想念美好的校园生活吗？它们是否会随着岁月慢慢流逝？你对过去有多少回忆？你对将来又有多少期待？……无论如何，只要记得，“我们永远是朋友”！
Graduation (Friends Forever)
Vitamin C
And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You'd better say it right now 'cause you don't have another day
'Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love but it came too soon
And there was me and you, and then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels
(Chorus)
As we go on, we remember all the times we had together
And as our lives change, come whatever, we will still be friends forever
So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money
When we look back now, will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule?
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly. And this is how it feels
(Chorus)
La, la, la, la; yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la, we will still be friends forever
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there? Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
(Chorus) (Repeat)
我们曾整夜讨论以后的生活，谈论25岁时我们会在哪里
我常常想时间会永远不变，常常想事物会亘古永久
可是当今年离开，我们就不再回来
不会再一起结伴出游，因为我们都将有自己的生活轨迹
如果你有什么要说，现在就说吧，因为你不再有机会
因为我们在一直往前走，不能放慢脚步
记忆那样清晰，像在播放无声电影
我常常想起六月的那个夜晚，我对爱还了解太少，但它却来得那样快
我和你，我们获得了浪漫跟自信。我们呆在家里煲着电话粥
我们那样激动，也那样的胆怯，自嘲自乐，愤青似的调侃生活的不公
这就是那时的感受
（合唱）
当生活继续，我们记得所有在一起的时光
当生活改变，无论发生什么我们依然永远是朋友
若我们找到一份好工作，赚很多很多的钱
当我们回顾今天，是否还会为今天玩笑发笑？
我们还会记得在学校里学到的一切么？
是否还努力打破每一条规则？
是否聪明的小鲍比会成为股票经纪人？
是否海泽尔会找到一份工作而不受她黝黑皮肤的影响？
我常常，常常想这并不是再见
而坚持认为这正是我们展翅飞翔的时机
这就是那时的感受
（合唱）
啦啦啦啦……我们依然是永远的朋友
明天我们是否会像现在一样考虑问题？
我们能否在社会上生存？我们能否小有成就？
我猜我想的这一切永远都不会结束
突然我们都好像变成了成熟的男人女人
是否过去会像影子一样将我们包围？
是否这些记忆会随着我的离开而褪色？
我常常，常常想这并不是再见
而坚持认为这正是我们展翅飞翔的时机
（合唱）（重复）
