Lyrics

In carolina's eyes I see the ocean
In carolina's eyes I see the one for me
When carolina's eyes fill with emotion
I see the better man she makes me wanna be
And I say, "oh, carolina, you deserve a better man than me"

A warm breeze blowin' from the sea tonight
And dreamin' bout my carolina, prayin' that she's alright
I'm just a piano man singin' songs for people I don't know
Oh, carolina, wish you never would've let me go

In carolina's eyes I see the ocean
In carolina's eyes I see the one for me
When carolina's eyes fill with emotion
I see the better man she makes me wanna be
And I say, "oh, carolina, ah
You deserve a better man than me
Sweet, sweet carolina, ah
You deserve a better man than me"

Spend my time in cars and planes and empty hotel rooms
Yeah, it's a beautiful life everyone assumes
But I am just a country boy in a world I don't belong
Oh, carolina, tonight, I'm singing' them your song, oh

In carolina's eyes I see the ocean
In carolina's eyes I see the one for me, mmm
When carolina's eyes fill with emotion
I see the better man she makes me wanna be
And I say, "oh, carolina, ah
You deserve a better man than me
Sweet, sweet carolina, ah
You deserve a better man than me"

Mmm, mmm
Carolina's eyes
In carolina's eyes (carolina's eyes) I see the ocean
In carolina's eyes (carolina's eyes) I see the one for me
Carolina's eyes (carolina's eyes) and you fill with emotion
See the better man she (carolina's eyes) makes me wanna be
Carolina's eyes (carolina's eyes)
