Lyrics
Where it began, I can’t begin to knowing
But then I know it’s growing strong
Oh, was in the spring (ooh)
And spring became the summer
Who’d have believed you’d come along?
Hands, touching hands, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I’ve been inclined to believe it never would
And now I, I look at the night (ooh)
And it don’t seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two, oh
And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulder
How can I hurt when holding you?
One, touching one, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Oh, I’ve been inclined to believe they never would
Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
