Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here we are, gathered once again
To celebrate the day you came
With gentle hands and patient heart
You guide us all, that's just your art
Through every class, you make us smile
Your wisdom shows in every mile
The strength you share, the care you give
Makes every moment worth to live
[Chorus]
Years of friendship, years of grace
Your kindness shows in every space
Teaching us to bend, not break
Growing stronger, for your sake
[Verse 2]
Remember all those morning calls
The laughter echoing through halls
A friend to all who cross your way
Your spirit brightens up the day
In times of doubt, you helped us through
Showed us what we all could do
With dedication pure and true
You built this family, old and new
[Bridge]
Time keeps flowing like a river
But some things just grow stronger
[Piano Solo]
Your heart keeps teaching
Your soul keeps reaching
Higher and higher we climb
[Verse 3]
Today we sing with grateful hearts
For all the wisdom you impart
Each movement, breath, and gentle word
The finest teacher we have heard
Your friendship spans across the years
Through joy and sometimes through the tears
You lift us up when we are down
That's why we're all here now
[Final Chorus]
Years of friendship, years of grace
Your kindness shows in every space
Teaching us to bend, not break
Growing stronger, for your sake
(For Monica, we celebrate!)
