Here where I live   In the ...   THere is a small town   Like any other.      There lived the prettiest girl around   She had long hair and glasses   Her name was Kara   She was a senior   At the highschool   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 women      And I was gone gone gone   gone gone gone   like the apple   Adam couldn't help himself   and I was gone gone 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 tryed to be funny   when she smiled with those innocent eyes   I knew she could see through me   Well 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   Well Monday morning, classes they were starting      And I was gone gone gone   gone gone gone    like the falling star   in the middle of the night   I was gone gone gone   gone gone Kara goodbye.      First I came back home   every chance that i can get   then things started getting a little busy   the holidays were over   before you knew it i took an signed job in indiapolis   the city draped its fog over me   I told myself I was too busy to write   make a mistake of you and me      and i came home at the end of summer   I called up Kara, and I got her mother   she said she left to north carolina   to study art   do something wonderful      Kara where we are from in indiana   just a small town like any other   we all watched you   cuz we loved you   you were so beautiful   didnt even try yea      and you were gone gone gone   gone gone gone like the autumn   i fell in love   you were gone gone gone   gone gone kara goodbye.      do something beautiful   i know you will.
