There comes a time when we all lose someone important to us. This song pays tribute to a friend who passed away untimely from colorectal cancer.

Lyrics

Hey Kelly,
Life never told us the when's or the why's
Hey Kelly,
It was far too soon to say our goodbyes
Oh, my friend
They say all things must come to an end,
But my heart can't pretend

You were here today, then gone tomorrow
Happiness yesterday, drowned out by all the sorrow
Seeking the memories of you for mirth to borrow
'Cause I miss you my friend
And my heart can't pretend

Kelly...
Kelly...

Hey Kelly,
I recall the songs strummed from your guitar
Hey Kelly,
Seemed every melody could heal every scar
But oh, my friend
The music came to an untimely end
And my heart can't pretend

You were here today, then gone tomorrow
Happiness yesterday, drowned out by all the sorrow
Seeking the memories of you for mirth to borrow
'Cause I miss you my friend
And my heart can't pretend

Kelly...
Kelly...

Sometimes life gives us lessons
That we'll forever question
But If I've learned anything from you
The best thing we could ever do
Is press on in the midst of pain
Seek joy, though troubled by the rain
Oh, my friend
You fought the battle 'til the bitter end
And just around the bend
I'll see your smiling face again

You were here today, then gone tomorrow
Happiness yesterday, drowned out by all the sorrow
Seeking the memories of you for mirth to borrow
'Cause I miss you my friend
And my heart can't pretend

Kelly...
(You were here today, then gone tomorrow)
Kelly...
(Happiness drowned out by all the sorrow)
Kelly...
(Memories of you for mirth to borrow)
Kelly...
(Here today then gone tomorrow)
Kelly...
(You were here today, then gone tomorrow)
Kelly...
(Happiness drowned out by all the sorrow)
Kelly...
(Memories of you for mirth to borrow)
Kelly...
