Song For Kelly

Seventeen stuffed teddy bears Lay on a cold gravestone One for every year that you've been gone Just to say I love you and I'm thinking of you still And I always will Seventeen red roses Placed in a heart shaped face Tattered, torn, and broken just like mine Even though the tears are flowing gently down my face I'll be just fine I wish I could've known you even for a little while But that's not the way the world had planned I just have to close my eyes and see an angel's smile One day that might help me understand Why unlike sand Angel dust won't slip right through my hand Seventeen bright candles Left lighting in your name All beside each other in a row Broken hearted memories flicker in each flame And through the afterglow I wish I could've known you even for a little while But that's not the way the world had planned I just have to close my eyes and see an angel's smile One day that might help me understand Why unlike sand Angel dust won't slip right through my hand Now it's time for me to say goodbye I'm sorry that my tears dropped on your stone Seventeen times I tried not to cry But I hate to leave you here alone I wish I could've held you even for a little while But that's not the way the world had planned I just have to close my eyes and see an angel's smile One day that might help me understand Why unlike sand Angel dust won't slip right through my hand Why unlike sand Angel dust won't slip right through my hand Seventeen stuffed teddy bears Lay on a cold gravestone One for every year that you've been gone
