"We say goodbye to Davis later on today
I've offered up to sing a song I don't know what to say
He's forever been a part of our Franklin families
Feel like I'm swimming in a flood of memories
He lived a good long life almost a century
Started as a high school ended as elementary
So many came to him with a thirst for knowledge
So many left and went to work or away to college
Things keep changing that's what they say
And we don't miss nothing till it's gone away
But the truth will be here till we're old and grey
You can take away Davis… but in our hearts he'll always stay
He was our home for many a year
He's seen every burst of laughter and every tear
From the comical and crazy to the calm and the cool
And all of the excitement of a brand new day of school
Classrooms bursting with creativity
All staff and teachers feeding the kids curiosity
Amazing artwork and staying fit with ol' Phys Ed
And the Sound of Music keeps on playing in my head
Things keep changing that's what they say
And we don't miss nothing till it's gone away
But the truth will be here till we're old and grey
You can take away Davis… but in our hearts he'll always stay
And now the halls are empty and everything is silent
Once filled with an energy so vital and so vibrant
But as sure as that ol' church bell will chime
The DT door behind me closes one last time…"
