sunrise through the evergreens another day is born hills take on a golden glow a corolina morn i used to see it in her eyes now i have to know oh carolina how could you let her go oh carolina if i had only known oh carolina i would have never gone i though the beauty of the hills would hold her here for me id never dream while i was gone you'd ever set her free i trusted you with all my heart and the only love id ever known oh carolina how could you let her go oh carolina if i had only known oh carolina i would have never gone oh carolina if i had only known oh caroline i would have never gone i would have never gone
