It's So Hard to Tell Who's Going to Love You the Best is the debut album by American folk blues musician Karen Dalton, originally released in 1969 by Capitol Records (see 1969 in music).
The album was subsequently reissued on CD by the Koch label in 1997. Extended liner notes were written by Peter Stampfel of the Holy Modal Rounders, who writes:
She was the only folk singer I ever met with an authentic 'folk' background. She came to the folk music scene under her own steam, as opposed to being 'discovered' and introduced to it by people already involved in it."
In 1999, Megaphone issued the album again, this time with new packaging, a new booklet and a DVD with archival footage.
In 2009, Light In The Attic Records, once again, reissued the album on vinyl with new packaging and liner notes.
And here are the lyrics to the song I Love You More Than Words Can Say by Karen Dalton.
Please, let me sit down beside you
I've got something to tell you, darling
You wanna know
I just can't wait, no not another day
I love you more than words can say
Yes, I do
Living without you is so painful
I was tempted to call it a day
You've got me in your hand
Why can't you understand?
I love you more than words can say
Yes, I do
I just can't sleep
When I lay down in my bed
The thoughts of you linger in my head
Without you it's so painful
I was tempted to call it a day
You've got me in your hand
Why can't you understand
I love you more than words can say
Let me sit down beside you
I've got something to tell you, darling
You wanna know
I just can't wait, no not another day
I love you more than words can say
More than words can ever say
Yes, I do
