"Caroline

Comes from the rain

Glistening and shivering

She laughs as she shakes off the weather

Caroline

Whispers her words

Saying she'll always love me

At least when we are together

Caroline

Starts closing in

Surrounding the spot

Where watching in wonder I stand

Caroline

She's shedding her rings

Her bracelets and stockings

And placing her skin still moist in the palm of my hand

You're pressing she smiles

It's too soon to ask

For me to cast off my cover

You assume that I'm caught

Up there in your head

So now I must go to my lover.

Her world is such a sudden place

A minute flashed before my face

To fly to feel to fall from grace

Oh Caroline - I'm leaning, careening

This bubble that I choose to chase

Keeps breaking on the brink of space

Just as I'm about to taste

It's meaning - Caroline

Caroline

Comes from the full moon

Trembling and grieving

Afraid of the march of the seasons

Caroline

You're too young to be running

Too old to be lying

Too wise not to see all the reasons

Caroline

Hangs her cape and her jeans

And surrenders her tears

To christen my pillow with sorrow

Caroline

She remains after times

To explain what she means, she speaks of today

More than she dreams of tomorrow

She says - Never has life

Been so full of the urge

To let go of the night and believe

She collects all her things

While she's still of a mind

So soft it's like breathing she leaves. "

@Sheri451 We oughta start a club for all us wannabe Carolines ;-) Found another good one with your name, though, check out "Mon Cheri" by The Georgia Satellites, if you haven't already, there's one copy here on YT. Nowhere near as lovely as this song, but at least your future lovers have another choice, lol!

I feel the same way. My name is Sheri It's supposed to be pronounced like the Stevie Wonder song Cheri Amore. But I live in the South and everyone pronounced it as Shurrie. So I got like the Frankie Vallie song Sherry Baby. I've had everyone from my Sunday School teacher to a guy who loved me sing SHERRY SHERRY BABY! I like the name Caroline.

Always made me wish my name was Caroline :-) If I had a nickel for every dime store cowboy that serenaded me with "Help Me, Rhonda" over the years, why I'd have at least a buck! For all you lucky Carolines out there.
