sunrise through the evergreens
another day is born
hills take on a golden glow
a corolina morn
i used to see it in her eyes
now i have to know
oh carolina
how could you let her go
oh carolina
if i had only known
oh carolina
i would have never gone
i though the beauty of the hills
would hold her here for me
id never dream while i was gone
you'd ever set her free
i trusted you with all my heart
and the only love id ever known
oh carolina
how could you let her go
oh carolina
if i had only known
oh carolina
i would have never gone
oh carolina
if i had only known
oh caroline
i would have never gone
i would have never gone
