<p>儿子毕业之际，同级家长为孩子们词曲了一首新歌；毕业典礼上，年级组长倾情演唱，配以孩子们在学校里无数美好的瞬间（照片），让孩子们泪目，让家长们动容......今天找到歌词，并做了中文翻译，是以为念。</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>难说再见</p><p><br></p><p>Written by Katie Hardyman, arr.
