Kelly Time

Well, videotapes and ice skates are beautiful things Like a birthday card for Johnny and a pair of angel wings You were tryna light a fire, and all you wanted was a match But you knew I didn't have one, so it was odd that you should ask No, it wasn't just the plane crash that shook you to the core But the very thought of losin' her, that made it all worth dyin' for I'm sorry I'm sorry We both washed up on that island, all alone without a friend Thinkin' you and I were gonna die there, and that would be the end But as the weeks turned into months, I saw you overcome your fears And as we became companions, all those months turned into years When we would talk and talk for hours, you would make sure I felt heard 'Cause you knew what I was sayin' though I never said a word Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm ready for anything Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, who knows what the tide could bring? Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah, I'm ready for anything Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, who knows what the tide could bring? After fifteen hundred days, you and me escaped to sea And I knew that you still loved the girl from Memphis, Tennessee Out there on that lonely ocean, we met a passin' humpback whale 'Cause all the way from Bakersfield, the tide gave us a sail And just like that it happened, the waves took me away And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry that you lost a friend that day Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm ready for anything Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, who knows what the tide could bring? Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah, I'm ready for anything Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, who knows what the tide could bring? Well, you and me went on a journey full of tragedy and pain But I'm grateful I was with you through the sunshine and the rain And when I wonder where ya are now, I'll probably never know But my friend, I hope you made it, and somehow you finally made it home (ooh-ooh-ooh) I have an ocean-worth of questions, but if I do know one thing It's that the sun will rise tomorrow, and who knows what the tide could bring? Da-da-da-da-da-da, I'll never forget you (goodbye, my friend) Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-ooh-ooh (Hey, hey, hey) hey Kelly, are you there? Pick up I know I said I'd be back And like that, nobody knew where I was at And all my logic said I would never see you again After four years of missin' you so bad but here I am And now I have to learn to let you go Even though I love you more than you'll ever know I'm gettin' used to half a heart and the way things are But Kelly, I never should've gotten out of the car, I'm sorry Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm ready for anything Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, who knows what the tide could bring? Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah, I'm ready for anything Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, who knows what the tide could bring? I'm sorry for everything But nobody knows what the tide could bring You know, nobody knows what the tide could bring Videotapes and ice skates are beautiful things Like a pocket watch on Kelly Time and a pair of angel wings Oh, and the birthday card to Johnny, it made me realize That the most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the gift of life The most beautiful thing in the world is to be so wonderfully alive
