Katrin, You Carry the Light

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some days the morning comes in slow Like it knows what we've been through There's a light that finds the window And I always think of you From the day that you were born, girl Your daddy beamed with pride [Chorus] Oh Katrin, you never once backed down You'd show them you could climb Every mountain, every storm cloud You just rose up every time You're the most important thing I have In this whole life of mine [Verse 2] You were twelve when we lost Kirsten The little Henderson cheerleader at her side Then your brother with his camera Who showed you off with so much pride Still you studied, still you kept on Your diploma lifted high [Chorus] Oh Katrin, you never once backed down You'd show them you could climb Every mountain, every storm cloud You just rose up every time You're the most important thing I have In this whole life of mine [Bridge] Tears have fallen on this family More than any heart should hold But you carry them like candles Lighting up the road [Verse 3] Now you teach the kids who see the world In colors all their own Scott Golightly took your hand And you built yourselves a home Then came Blake, the sparkle of our lives And your daddy saw you grown [Chorus] Oh Katrin, your daddy's smiling down He watched you climb so high Now it's you and me together Still reaching for the sky You're the most important thing I have In this whole life of mine [Outro] From a baby in his arms To the woman standing tall You're the most important thing My Katrin, through it all
