Hill, Dan - Caroline Lyrics






Well I've been way so long
I'm too numb to dislike it
And la's one big hit song
I never learned to fight it
Dear caroline
It never meant to go this far
It started out to be a game
I never meant to be a star.

And everybody smiles
But their eyes stare out so empty
From a face they scrub with dial
And the words that spill so fancy
Dear caroline
I thought my songs would change the world
Instead of slowly getting rich
Off the emotions of young girls.

[Chorus:]
And what really makes me laugh
Is that nothing's really changed
Since that day I left you years ago
To find myself a name
And what really makes me cry
Is that it's only an illusion
And all that success means
Is just money and confusion.

I've been told you settled down
Found yourself a family
I'll send my latest record down
The critics tell me that it's happening
Dear caroline
There's nothing really left to say
I hope you still remember me
After the songs all fade away.

[Repeat chorus]

    A legendary performance by a real country music singer. All the trash being recorded today can not compare to one song by Vince Gill. This is greatness personified. Little Shannon Burns has gone on to be with Jesus. God rest her beautiful soul. I love you my Bear. Your Denny. Some girl named Alison Krauss singing harmony on this one according to Shannon's notes.

    * Good day Glenn! Very touching song my friend, you did a wonderful job with the images! The visuals made the message even stronger : ) The song feels like a melodic mix of obsession & loyalty to me, both being very passionate and strong emotions... and both something we've all experienced before. Thank you my friend for sharing such a moving piece of music with us (and you accompanying wonderful visuals!!!) Have a fantastic weekend Glenn!
