Me and Caroline were talking Well that's just her name for now Well I just sipped and starred and waited She teared up and started out I can hear the angels As this little one laid to rest All the burdens that were brought on wings Violent skies that didn't care Sweet Jesus where was Your light The night that little girl was fighting for her life I can only pray for the wick You left inside Brighten Your child Brighten sweet Caroline Brighten Your child So if you see the sun fading Then you know that all is right And if you hear the darkness weaping Then you know Caroline is bright Then you know Caroline is bright Sunday's just like any day And some day is in the past When innoncent is shed like silence From a gray sky pouring gla** Sweet Jesus where do you draw the line The night that that little girl was fighting for her rights I can only pray for the wick You left inside of Caroline Burning the sun away Burn bright sweet Caroline Your smile is safe I live for the sun light I live for the day Never look at the sunrise the same way So if you see the sun fading Then you know that all is right If you hear the darkness weaping Then you know Caroline is bright Then you know Caroline is bright Then you know sweet Caroline is bright There is a strength for all days There is a call on this moment If I'd never met sweet caroline I might never recognize the sunrise
