If I could talk to the man I used to be
The one who swore he'd rather be free
Running around doing just what he pleased
I'd tell him ‘bout Caroline

He'd call me the biggest liar in town
If I told him how love finally brought him around
He'd laugh at the notion of settling down
‘til I tell him ‘bout Caroline

chorus:
With a heart as pure as gold
And eyes that see my soul
And how each and every thought that crosses my mind
Is all about Caroline

Enough about then, ‘cause who I am now
Is the luckiest man that love ever found
The sun comes up, the sun goes down
All about Caroline

Sometimes things just happen in life
That can't be fixed as hard as you try
Early this morning I told my wife
I dreamed about Caroline

(repeat chorus)

bridge:
We've waited for so long
Today we bring her home
And we'll love her like our very own

If I could talk to the man I used to be
The one who swore he'd rather be free
Instead of bouncing this baby girl on his knee
I'd tell him about Caroline
