Kara

In the Spring of my childhood,
I watched that girl,
surrender to love
She floated by my house,
balloons in hand she blushed,
as I waved her goodbye

Growing up I wished in my heart,
when her age, I would be,
Just as her
She looked like someone from heaven,
and I was just a common,
girl of Earth

Her name was Kara
She walked over the hearts of many boys,
First time I saw her,
was mesmerized by her lovely twinkle eyes,
she smelt of blossoms,
like a spray of perfume on the river side,
she was an angel,
riding clouds above miles and miles high ...

Many years down the line,
I know by now, that love
just means to hurt
Still spend time in its pursuit
for without love,
life doesn't measure up

I may not smell as lovely as her,
or have her hair
my eyes don't twinkle but
I do know in my heart somewhere,
I'm just as she was,
The spring she fell in love ...

Her name was Kara
She walked over the hearts of many boys,
First time I saw her,
was mesmerized by her lovely twinkle eyes,
she smelt of blossoms,
like a spray of perfume on the river side,
she was an angel,
riding clouds above miles and miles high ...
