Carolina's Eyes Lyrics

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.

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,

you deserve a better man than me.

Sweet, sweet Carolina,

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 singin’ them your song.



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.

Sweet, sweet Carolina,

you deserve a better man than me."
