Andrew Osenga - Kara lyrics

Here where I live in Indiana, It's just a small town, like any other There lived the prettiest girl around, She had blonde hair and gla**es, Her name was Kara. She was a senior at the High School, I was on break from the University Sure, I had seen her, Sure I had known her She was a girl then, now she was a woman And I was gone, gone, gone, Like the apple, Adam couldn't help himself I was gone, gone, gone, Kara, goodbye She worked on weekends down at the grocery So Saturday morning I had to go shopping We made some small talk and I tried to be funny When she smiled with those innocent eyes I knew she could see through me Later that evening we took a walk outside The leaves were crunching And our stars were crossing We smiled at nothing at all We laughed at everything But Monday morning, cla**es they were starting And I was gone, gone, gone Like a falling star in an Indiana night, I was gone, gone, gone, Kara, goodbye First I came back home Every chance that I could get Then things started getting a little busier And the holidays were over Before you knew it I took a Summer job in Indianapolis And the city draped its fog over me I told myself I was too busy to write Biggest mistake I ever made When I came home at the end of summer I called up Kara, and I got her mother She said she'd left for school in North Carolina To study art and do something wonderful Kara, where we're from, here in Indiana We're just a small town, like any other And we all watched you, because we loved you You were so beautiful You didn't even try And you were gone, gone, gone Like the Autumn I fell in love You were gone, gone, gone, Kara, goodbye Do something beautiful I know you will…
