Chloé Eklof - The Last Three Months (Song for My Students) Lyrics

This one goes out to all the ones who will not roam our halls
Because their time in middle school is through
No one could anticipate that we wouldn't get to celebrate
So dear students, let me write this song for you
September, you were new to me. By November it was plain to see
You'd be marching forward, growing every day
I see courage, grit, and empathy in the faces of the ones I teach
So when the world is in your hands, we'll be okay
But if we'd had the last three months, we'd make music
And if we'd had the last three months, you know we'd use them
And if we'd had the last three months, I would remind you that you're loved
Well I hope you get the message anyway
I want to thank you for leaving your mark on this choir teacher's heart
You will always have a place to come back to
Though our time in the same room is done, your song has only begun
So take our melodies and memories with you
But if we'd had the last three months, we'd make music
And if we'd had the last three months, you know we'd use them
And if we'd had the last three months, I would remind you that you're loved
Well I hope you get the message anyway
So in these next few months, please make music
And in these next few months, please don't lose it
And in these next few months, always remember that you're loved
And if you need me, I'm a message away
And if you need me, I'm a message away
