Karen Anne Lyrics - Aselin Debison

It was late at night at 3am 

She did hear somebody call her name 

The dark was filled with flames and smoke 

Of the seven kids, six of them they made it out 

But their daddy went back in again 

Cus they were missing seven year old Karen Anne 

With tear-stained eyes and empty hands 

He came out, a shadow of a poor old man 

Every family has a story 

Of the one tragedy 

And I guess for me 

My tragedy is Karen Anne 

A year went by, the hardest part 

Was trying to make a brand new start without their Karen Anne 

She loved to sing and twirl and dance 

Round her beauty never got the proper chance 

Her life was taken in seventy steps 

Thirtieth of March, we still can't get over it 

Especially my sweet papa 

In spite of every thing he couldn't save his baby girl 

Every family has a story 

Of the one tragedy 

And I guess for me 

My tragedy is Karen Anne 

I can't imagine the pain my papa went through 

'cus everybody knew 

He was Captain Dan who saved the lives of many men 

That daddy was a fireman who couldn't save Karen Anne 

Karen Anne... 

Precious Karen Anne...
