Heart Of Caroline

I think most people had someone in their childhood days that they had a crush on but didn’t have the nerve to come out and let them know it.

Heart Of Caroline
In the heart of Carolina where the tall pines grow so green
I can still feel the presence of a lady I knew in a young man’s small town dream
I watched her as she grew up saw her smile in school every day
I don’t know why I was so shy, I let her slip away

Into the arms of some old stranger, in a small town down the line
I went overseas and left part of me in the heart of Carolina

A few years came between us, with a wrinkle or two across my eyes
I made my home, saw her all alone and I asked her if she realized
I watched you as you grew up she said with a smile upon her face
Oh I watched you too, if I only knew, maybe another time another place

She said, I went off to marry but I kept you in my mind
Don’t know what to do, I left my love too, In the heart of Carolina

She said, I went off to marry but I kept you in my mind
Don’t know what to do, I left my love too, In the heart of Carolina
