O Caroline

Lyrics David's on the piano and I may play on a drum And we try to make the music We'll try try to Have some fun But I just can't help thinking that if you were Here with me I'd get all my thoughts in focus and play More excitingly I love you still Caroline I want you still Caroline I need you still Caroline If you call this sentimental c___ you'll make me mad Because you know that I would not sing about Some passing fad And if my attempts of rhyming aren't convincing To your ear Then memory's betrayed you through the passing Of the year I love you still Caroline I want you still Caroline I need you still Caroline You must think it doubtful but I mean the words I sing Or that all attempts to reach you this way could Not mean a thing But you must admit we both thought we'd be Man and wife And that I could make you happy for the best part Of your life I love you still Caroline I want you still Caroline I need you still Caroline
