lyrics

you gotta love
(for dad)

i can see why some people are so afraid to love
cause it hurts, it hurts oh, i know

when you love somebody you can never get enough
and it hurts, it hurts to let go

but you gotta love, you gotta love, you gotta love
there's nothing better, and there's nothing worse
you gotta love, you gotta love, you gotta love
it's a joy and it's a curse but you gotta love

i went out to the garden on a windy day
and it hurt, it hurt to be missing you

all the leaves were glistening, some were blowing away
and it hurt, it hurt to face the truth

but you gotta love, you gotta love, you gotta love
nothing makes you feel better, nothing makes you feel worse
you gotta love, you gotta love, you gotta love
it's wings and it's a hearse but you gotta love

i was once a young girl standing by your side
and it hurts, it hurts to remember now

you are still walking with me, and it fills me full of pride
though it hurts, it hurts but you showed me how

you gotta love, you gotta love, you gotta love
oh, there's nothing better, there's nothing worse
you gotta love, you gotta love, you gotta love
it's water and it's thirst but you gotta love

oh, it's a joy and it's a curse
it's wings and it's a hearse
it's water and it's thirst but you gotta love

Karen’s baby diary reads, "20 months, knows 6 songs." Her mother, a big band singer, was not surprised to find her constantly dancing and singing.

"A voice with this much strength and easy confidence is a rare find. Her songs are filled with good humor, sensuality and nature's simple pleasures. She can work a sly smile into a lyric that makes you smile in spite of yourself." All Music Guide ... more
