In Carolina's eyes I see the ocean
In Carolina's eyes I see the one for me
When Carolina's eyes fill with emotion
I see the better man she makes me wanna be
And I say, "Oh, Carolina, you deserve a better man than me"
A warm breeze blowin' from the sea tonight
And dreamin' bout my Carolina, prayin' that she's alright
I'm just a piano man singin' songs for people I don't know
Oh, Carolina, wish you never would've let me go
In Carolina's eyes I see the ocean
In Carolina's eyes I see the one for me
When Carolina's eyes fill with emotion
I see the better man she makes me wanna be
And I say, "Oh, Carolina, ah
You deserve a better man than me
Sweet, sweet Carolina, ah
You deserve a better man than me"
Spend my time in cars and planes and empty hotel rooms
Yeah, it's a beautiful life everyone assumes
But I am just a country boy in a world I don't belong
Oh, Carolina, tonight, I'm singing' them your song, oh
In Carolina's eyes I see the ocean
In Carolina's eyes I see the one for me, mmm
When Carolina's eyes fill with emotion
I see the better man she makes me wanna be
And I say, "Oh, Carolina, ah
You deserve a better man than me
Sweet, sweet Carolina, ah
You deserve a better man than me"
Mmm, mmm
Carolina's eyes
In Carolina's eyes (Carolina's eyes) I see the ocean
In Carolina's eyes (Carolina's eyes) I see the one for me
Carolina's eyes (Carolina's eyes) and you fill with emotion
See the better man she (Carolina's eyes) makes me wanna be
Carolina's eyes (Carolina's eyes)
