Moon, moon I can see you sinking low
You make me think of a sweetheart a little girl that, I love so
After I wonder the whole night through, wondering if you think of me
Why am I lonesome thinking of someone I'm thinking only of you

My Carolina sunshine girl, you have turned my heart to stone
My Carolina sunshine girl, you have left me all alone

I wonder why I sit and cry
When I really should laugh at your photograph
For you're the sweetest angel in this world
And I love love love you my Carolina sunshine girl

I wonder why I sit and cry
When I really should laugh at your little old photograph
For you're the sweetest angel in this world
And I love love love you my Carolina sunshine girl
