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."
