Caroline

(album: Precious - 2023)

So we were young, so I didn't hold a grudge
Thought it was love, now I know that it's just lust
Mm, yeah, but you stole my heart away
So now and then I think back to the old school days
Jump in your fence, I'd wait for you in the rain
Calling out your name

Turn the radio on and I drove all night
I don't think I've seen those stars so bright
It's almost as if they're shining for you
The prettiest girl I've ever seen
Now I only see you in my dreams
I wish I could go back right now to that night
Oh, and I remember Caroline

So I took a chance, bought two tickets to the show
Wrote you a note and asked you if you would go
And we'd dance the night away
Mm, I remember shaking and waiting for the last song
To get a kiss and ask, "Could I take you home?"
But at first you pulled away

I turn the radio on and we drove all night
I don't think I've seen those stars so bright
It's almost as if they were shining for you
The prettiest girl I've ever seen
Now I only see you in my dreams
I wish I could go back right now to that night, oh-oh
Oh, and I remember Caroline

I can feel my heart in my throat again
It plays a game called "Do you remember when?"
We danced the night away
My deepest fear is not that I'm missing out
It's more what if I ruined and let you down, mm
And I loose you in the crowd

So I turn my radio on and I drove all night
The stars in the sky weren't quite as bright
It's almost as if they were shining for you
Oh, yeah, the prettiest girl I've ever seen
Now I only see you in my dreams
I wish I could go back right now to that night, oh, no
Said I wish I could go back right now to that night
Oh, and I remember Caroline

Oh, yeah
Said I remember you, Caroline
You know, you know
Said I remember you

We were young, we were young, we were young living
So in love, so in love, so in love, but then, mm
