Caroline

I saw you dancing away

With no care that day

These faded memories return quickly

You swing your arms around with such freedom

Falling in and out of love so spontaneously,

Your fragile face with that tender smile.

 

How sad that we hardly speak anymore,

Separation and our lives tore

A single word means so much

Wondering what happened to our touch.

You ask me why are you so sad?

Don’t worry, I feel a little bad

I'm not the right girl for you.

A quiet loneliness between us two

The sigh of a ******* lonely heart.

You turn your back on the past dirt

Moving away in that pretty purple skirt

 

Go ahead and be happy, my Vienna Angel

You deserve all the love in the world

You don’t need any more pain

What was there ever to gain?

From all this old heartache

It was true for the time

I told you “I love you, Caroline”, in that old car of yours

You curled next to me in the backseat

Giving me that warm, soft smile

And If I ever see you again in my life

With that carefree dance you hold

I’ll glance over and share a soft smile
