Lyrics
- Wishing is good time wasted
Still it’s a habit they say
Wishing for sweets I’ve tasted
That’s all I do all day
Maybe there’s nothing in wishing
But speaking of wishing I’ll say
Chorus:
Nothing could be finer than
To be in Carolina in the morning
Noone could be sweeter than my sweetie
When I meet her in the morning
Where the morning glories twine around the door
Whispering pretty stories I long to hear once more
Strolling with my girlie
Where the dew is pearly early in the morning
Butterflies all flutter up
And kiss each little buttercup at dawning
If I had Aladdin’s lamp for only a day
I’d make a wish and here’s what I’d say
Nothing could be finer
Than to be in Carolina in the morning
- Dreaming was meant for nighttime
I live in dreams all the day
I know it’s not the right time
But still I dream away
What could be seeter than dreaming
Just dreaming and drifting away
