Caroline

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He took a rib from a man Made a woman Never thought he'd make one just for me Dipped his brush in the ocean And painted her blue eyes God took his time on Caroline [Chorus] It took a hundred years or so To grow that oak tree in our yard And a million moons or more To hone her heart He made the sun in one day All the stars in just one night But God took his time on Caroline [Verse 2] I gave up faith in forever I lost all hope in meant to be Took half a lifetime for him To put her hand in mine God took his timе on Caroline [Chorus] It took a hundred years or so To grow that oak tree in our yard And a million moons or morе To hone her heart He made the sun in one day All the stars in just one night But God took his time on Caroline [Verse 3] I don't take for granted one tomorrow And I don't have the right to ask for more But when it comes time to take us Lord, please make me first in line And take your time on Caroline [Outro] She'll make you a great angel Your mansion in the sky 'Cause you took your time on Caroline
