Every Moment

by Daniel Kelly – 2026

     C          F
You never have as much time
           G
As you think you’re gonna have,
     F
The days and weeks,
     G               C
Will soon turn into years,

     C
The years will flow
     F
Right through your hands,
     G
No matter how you grasp,
     F               G
And everything that lives
            C
It some day ends,

     F          G               C
So take every moment by the shoulders
     F          G               C
Drink from it the beauty that you can,
           G
For another year,
     G7                   C
Is one more year you’re older,
F                    G
And tomorrow isn’t granted in each
  C
plan,

You may not get to say goodbye,
To everyone you love,
So treasure every heartbeat,
That you share,

And do not hold the anger,
That will quickly fall away,
The moment when you
Realise they aren’t there.


Take and give each kindness,
Like a treasure made of gold,
And do not waste your thoughts,
On those who hate,

For hate it is contagious,
Just as much as love,
And how you choose to live them,
Is your fate,
