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

And 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, ah

You deserve a better man than me

Sweet, sweet Carolina, ah

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 singing' them your song, oh



In Carolina's eyes I see the ocean

In Carolina's eyes I see the one for me, mmm

When Carolina's eyes fill with emotion

I see the better man she makes me wanna be

And I say, "Oh, Carolina, ah

You deserve a better man than me

Sweet, sweet Carolina, ah

You deserve a better man than me"



Mmm, mmm

Carolina's eyes

In Carolina's eyes (Carolina's eyes) I see the ocean

In Carolina's eyes (Carolina's eyes) I see the one for me

Carolina's eyes (Carolina's eyes) and you fill with emotion

See the better man she (Carolina's eyes) makes me wanna be

Carolina's eyes (Carolina's eyes)
