about

“Start Each Day With Love” is a mushy-gushy, heartfelt folk pop ukulele love song that expresses the importance of love, including the love one should give oneself. It was officially released with a music video featuring nature footage from Ephemeral Rift, on August 2, 2012. The cover art for the single was designed by one of Kara’s multi-talented ccMixter friends, Joel Frijters from SoundAdvantage. “Start Each Day With Love” captures the universal nature of love. It was the first single of “Love Songs For Everyone But Especially Uke.”

lyrics

Each morning I look over
To find you
Your eyes closed
Head on the pillow
Softly breathing
I kiss your cheek
Repeatedly
Until you open your eyes
And look at me

Sometimes you flip over
Not wanting to get up
Sometimes you sit up
And give me a hug
Either way
We start each day
With love

I know how lucky I am
I wish love for everyone

Sometimes it comes
In unexpected places
Sometimes it comes
From observing nature
Either way
Please start each day
With love

We’re all just people doing what we can
To live our lives and find some happiness
We’re all just people doing what we can
Searching for others who really understand

Sometimes it’s hidden
Masked in sadness
Sometimes we’re alone
And we’re all we have
We are all we have
Either way
Please start each day
With love
Please love yourself
With love
Love yourself.
