This was a big graduation song for people in the Church family when I was in HS...
Friends Are Friends Forever by Michael W. Smith
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
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
To live as friends
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
No a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

I have all of MWS's stuff from his first album up to about 1995. I like him a lot. I think "The Big Picture" was one of his best albums. But that song was terrific. He used to close every concert with that one, as he did when I saw him in concert - it was a wonderful moment.
OMG I saw him in concert twice AND was actually IN "The Big Picture" when my church choir group did it my freshman year of high school...
"I hear....Leasha..." lol
OOO now THAT'S cool, doing it in choir!
my friends and i use to do a skit for that song. we've done it so many times that i'm quite certain i jump right into the routine again
Yeah, The BIG Picture is actually a musical, so it was pretty fun. We went around Europe performing it on the military bases at church events and such.
A skit for the song? That would be interesting to see. I think y'all should youtube it! :)
