Sunrise through the evergreens
Another day is born
The hills take on a golden glow
A Carolina morn
I used to see you in her eyes
Now I just got to know
Oh Carolina, how could you let her go
Chorus:
Oh Carolina, if I`d only known
Oh Carolina, I would have never gone
I thought the beauty of your hills
Would hold her here for me
I never dreamed while I was gone
You`d ever set her free
I trusted you with all my heart
And the only love I`ve known
Oh Carolina, how could you let her go
Repeat Chorus X 2
I would have never gone
