Verse 1

I met Caroline quite some time ago

She was just the tender age of twelve

We used to go on adventures

together every day

And race back home at the sound

when the dinner bell rang

​

Pre-Chorus

But years flew by so fast

She got stuck in the past

Somewhere in the coming of age

That free-spirited girl was pushed away

​

Chorus

Caroline oh Caroline

please come back to me

Caroline oh Caroline

I’m so sorry

​

Verse 2

I used to laugh and sing with Caroline

She would love to take the lead

We built our secret fortress

in the woods

And watch the fairies dancing

in the trees

 

Pre-Chorus

But years flew by so fast

She got stuck in the past

Somewhere in the coming of age

That free-spirited girl was pushed away

​

Bridge

I’ve taken myself too seriously

And let growing up get to me

I wanna see life for all its beauty

And learn how to play once again

 

Chorus

Caroline oh Caroline

please come back to me

Caroline oh Caroline

I’m so sorry

Will you forgive me?

Caroline oh Caroline, 

Please come back to me
