Bruce Carroll Sometimes When We Love Lyrics

Sometimes When We Love (Bruce Carroll, Walk On)

When she was a little girl, she could always go to momma.
'Cause there're somethings only moms can really understand.
And she was deep in trouble and had to have an answer
But this time she knew momma couldn't be her helping hand.
It seems she's gone too far with the 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;
A little girl inside can hear her momma say:

Chorus
“Sometimes when we love we've got to give it away.
'Though the call of sacrifice is so hard to obey.
We've got to 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 he will forgive.
'Cause she'll know how he feels, like the day her parents told her
About a little girl her mother gave to them.
And to this day she's thankful her life was found so precious,
And that she made the choice to give that chance to him.

Chorus
Sometimes when we love, we've got to give it away.
Though the call of sacrifice is so hard to obey.
We've got to 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.
