The morning sun falls through the window
Lighting every name upon the wall
Same old desks and faded pictures
Soon we won’t be here at all
May nagsusulat sa aking yearbook
May tumatawa sa likod ng room
But beneath the jokes and happy faces
We know goodbye is coming soon
Parang kailan lang, tayo’y mga bata
Takot magsalita sa unang araw
Now we’re counting every minute
Wishing time would slow down
Before the final bell is ringing
Bago tayo magpaalam
Let me hold this moment longer
Bago tayo magkahiwalay
Before we walk beyond these hallways
Before tomorrow starts to call
Let’s remember who we were here
Before the final bell
We shared our lunch beneath the old tree
Talked about the lives we hoped to find
May mga lihim, may mga pangako
At mga pusong sabay nangarap
We learned much more than books could teach us
How to lose and try once more
Kung saan man tayo dalhin ng buhay
These memories will lead us home
Nakahanda na ang ating mga larawan
Nakasulat na ang huling pangalan
But how do we close this chapter
When our story has just begun? CHORUS
Before the final bell is ringing
Bago tayo magpaalam
Let me hold this moment longer
Bago tayo magkahiwalay
Before we walk beyond these hallways
Before tomorrow starts to call
Let’s remember who we were here
Before the final bell
If someday life becomes too heavy
And you feel you’ve lost your way
Balikan mo ang ating tawanan
At ang saya ng mga araw na ’to
Though the miles may come between us
Though the years may change us all
I will carry every memory
Long after the final bell
BREAKDOWN
One last smile
One last song
One last chance to sing along
Isang yakap
Isang tingin
Bago tayo tumahak sa sariling landas
Before the final bell is ringing
Sabay-sabay tayong mangako
Kahit saan man tayo mapunta
Hindi natin malilimutan ito
When we walk beyond these hallways
And tomorrow starts to call
We’ll remember who we were here
Before the final bell
Naririnig ko na ang kampana
But I’m not ready for farewell
So stay with me for one more moment
Before the final bell
Before the final bell…
We had the time of our lives
Lighting every name upon the wall
Same old desks and faded pictures
Soon we won’t be here at all
May nagsusulat sa aking yearbook
May tumatawa sa likod ng room
But beneath the jokes and happy faces
We know goodbye is coming soon
Parang kailan lang, tayo’y mga bata
Takot magsalita sa unang araw
Now we’re counting every minute
Wishing time would slow down
