Answer 1

Here are some lyrics, though I am not sure they are all correct, and I am missing two or three lines (denoted by ???s). If you know the missing lyrics or have corrections, please contribute! Naima's Love Song (written by John Hicks, vocals by Betty Carter): This father's love he cherishes/to be her dad is wonderful/but he'll quickly, so carelessly, without a fear of what's to come/????/???? Naima's love song life is hers alone/to learn, to be, to see, to give, to take, and to find what grown up life is really all about/to find her voice in life Teenagers' love/so blindly free/life which they move into a love song

They will make big mistakes/Naima knows her dad will understand/because she is his baby girl/he knows she's unaware what life and all its pitfalls has in store/and he'll help her find her way She's growing fast/her needs ???/he understands and keeps in touch/for her he waqnts a better world/he knows that he can't live her life/just be there when she needs a hug/Naima had to choose the way for her/to live, to laugh, to cry, to think and try and find a way to conquer all the challenges she'll face/and find her happiness The young, they choose and so they should/they reach for stars, however lonesome/it's not an easy thing for youth to concentrate on what is best/too much of this, too much of that/good thing that they are wise and find out what parents say is true/to find their voice in life
