Caroline

Written by：Joe Banfi/Aaron Graham

Lying here in bed

With things we never said

You are always the first to sleep

I whisper my goodbye

To all the happy lights

Wrapped around our ugly tree

Come sunrise your doll eyes

Will frown up my footprints in the snow

Come New Year you know dear

I lead you down a short line

And I'm so sorry Caroline

The more you became my home

The more I was meant to let you go

We lost our fight for time

And I'm so sorry Caroline

I try not to worry

But I I wish I could stay and hold you now

We lost our fight for time for life

Something that never came true

For me and you

December 85

Grandchildren arrive

Pride can be a lovely feast

Everything I've missed

Reminds you of that Christmas Eve

When life was caving in

Come sundown this old town

Looks a bit like the place we fall in love

Come New Year you'll know dear

I lead you down a short line

And I'm so sorry Caroline

The more you became my home

The more I was meant to let you go

We lost our fight for time

And I'm so sorry Caroline

I try not to worry

But I I wish I could stay and hold you now

We lost our fight for time for life

And something that never came true

For me and you

Come dry light this long ride

Is moving throughout the afterglow

Come New Year you'll be here

With me on this short line

And I'm still sorry Caroline

The more you became my home

The more I was meant to let you go

We lost our fight for time

And I'm so sorry Caroline

I try not to worry

But I I wish I could stay and hold you now

We lost our fight for time for life

Something that never came true

For me and you
