Bruce Carroll - Sometimes When We Love lyrics

When she was a little girl She could always go to mama 'Cause there's some things only mothers Can really understand Now she was deep in trouble And had to have an answer But this time, she knew mama Couldn't be her helping hand It seems she's gone too far With a boy she knows from high school She didn't tell her mother 'Cause she was so ashamed Now she lays there alone Crying in the darkness The little girl inside her Can hear her mama say Sometimes when we love We've got to give it away Though the call to sacrifice Is so hard to obey We've gotta live forever With the choices that we make Sometimes when we love We've got to give it away Now from time to time When she sees children playing She wonders what he's doing She wonders where he lives And in her heart, she knows She made the right decision And if he learns about her She prays that he'll forgive 'Cause she'll know how he feels Like the day her parents told her About a little girl A mother gave to them And to this day, she's thankful Her life was held so precious And that she made the choice To give that chance to him Sometimes when we love We've got to give it away Though the call to sacrifice Is so hard to obey We've gotta live forever With the choices that we make And sometimes when we love We've got to give it away Oh, sometimes when we love We've got to give it away
