<p>兒子畢業(yè)之際，同級家長為孩子們詞曲了一首新歌；畢業(yè)典禮上，年級組長傾情演唱，配以孩子們在學校里無數(shù)美好的瞬間（照片），讓孩子們淚目，讓家長們動容......今天找到歌詞，并做了中文翻譯，是以為念。</p><p><br></p><p>Upon their graduation from Knox Grammar School, a year 12 mom, Katie Hardyman, wrote this beautiful song for the boys. The song was performed full of emotion by Ms. Beth Goddard, the year 12 team leader. With the sound of music, numerous moments were being recalled by the pictures-slides, which brought the boys, and their moms and dads into tears of all sorts of feelings. </p><p>I hereby translated the lyrics into Chinese, for the memory of Sam’s happy time iin Knox Grammer School.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>IT'S NOT GOODBYE'</p><p>難說再見</p><p><br></p><p>Written by Katie Hardyman, arr.
