[Verse 1]
You and I had traveled different avenues
Your money gave you sources that I never knew
Met you on the backdrop of that 60’s scene
You were slightly older, I was 17
[Chorus]
Caroline, Caroline
Those days are gone, but the years were kind
Caroline, Caroline
Those days are gone, but the years were kind
[Verse 2]
I was on the darkside, you were in the sun
You had all the answers, I had none
Funny how life throws us curves we can’t avoid
Why is it we grow older and more paranoid?
[Chorus]
Caroline, Caroline
Those days are gone, but the years were kind
Caroline, Caroline
Those days are gone, but the years were kind
[Verse 3]
Never had direction how the wind would blow
Caught up in the chaos of the undertow
Me, I tried remaining while most others went
Now we reminisce on how our lives were spent
[Chorus]
Caroline, Caroline
Those days are gone, but the years were kind
Caroline, Caroline
Those days are gone, but the years were kind
Caroline, Caroline
Those days are gone, but the years were kind
