But you can’t stay here
Closing time, time for you to go out
To the places you will be from
Closing time, this room won’t be open
Till your brothers or your sisters come
So gather up your jackets, move it to the exits
I hope you have found a friend
Closing time, every new beginning
Comes from some other beginning’s end

In 1998 I was a sophomore in college, and I never could have dreamed I would meet such a wonderful man, have two beautiful children, and be successful enough in my career to be able to go sit in a little room at a little table, sign my name a million times, and buy this:
I'm wearing my lucky underwear, a green shirt, and my shamrock necklace. Please let everything go smoothly today. Jim and Cindy - it's time to get out. Finally.
