Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- The stars are shining in the skies
Remind me of somebody’s eyes
The whippoorwill up in the pine
Sounds like the voice of Caroline
Sweet Caroline it seems as though
I miss you most of all
When evening stars begin to glow
Ad the twilight shadows fall
Chorus:
Caroline, twilight time
Seems to set my heart a-wearyin’
For days of Auld Lang Syne
In dreams I wander down yonder
Among the fields of snowy white
And hear the strumming and humming
Of dreamy banjos thru the night
And then I seem to feel arms that steal
Around me just to hold me as in days of old
It’s you my Caroline
And every twilight time
I dream of how we’ll go a-sneakin’
Down to see the deacon
Someday down in Carolin’
- In dreams I see your folks and mine
All gathered round us Caroline
Your Uncle Joe and all the rest
All dressed up in their Sunday best
I hear the Deacon say the world
That’s going to make you mine
I’m here to say I never heard
Sweeter words in Carolin’
