Caroline

verse 1 Lying here in bed With things we never said You’re always the first to sleep I whisper my goodbye To all the happy lights Wrapped around our ugly tree Pre-Chorus Come sunrise Your soft eyes Will frown at my footprints in the snow Come New Year You’ll know dear I led you down a short line And I'm so sorry Caroline The more you became my hope The more I was made to let you go We lost our fight for time And I'm so sorry Caroline I’ll try not to wake the house I wish I could stay and hold you now We lost our fight for time For life And some things that never came true For me and you verse 2 December ‘85 Grandchildren arrive Pride can be a lovely thing Everything I've missed Reminds you of that Christmas eve When life was caving in Pre-Chorus 2 Come sundown This small town Looks a bit like the place we fell in love Come New Year You'll know dear I led you down a short line And I'm so sorry Caroline The more you became my hope The more I was made to let you go We lost our fight for time And I'm so sorry Caroline I’ll try not to wake the house I wish I could stay and hold you now We lost our fight for time For life And some things that never came true For me and you Pre-Chorus 3 Come twilight This long ride Is moving towards the afterglow Come New Year You'll be here With me on the short line And I'm still sorry Caroline The more you became my hope The more I was made to let you go We lost our fight for time And I'm so sorry Caroline I’ll try not to wake the house I wish I could stay and hold you now We lost our fight for time For life And some things that never came true For me and you
