Carolina Eyes

.

We were young, it was summer

Just a little town on the edge of the water

I've never been down there before

I met ya, pickin' up shells on that seashore

Your smile was pulling me under

Then ya said your name, and it was game over

.

Yeah girl, I fell so far in love with you

'Cause I told my heart I had nothing to lose

When time ain't on your side

You're wonderin' which kiss is gonna mean goodbye

And I opened up and threw all my love your way

Said words to you I'd never heard me say

I just sat there that night

And let your Carolina eyes pull me in

'Cause I never thought I'd see you again

.

If I'd only known a feeling like that

Would hit me once and it'd never come back

I'd of gone ahead and made you mine

Instead of trying to move on and wasting my time

Looking for what I already found

A few years back in that little beach town

.

Yeah girl, I fell so far in love with you

'Cause I told my heart I had nothing to lose

When time ain't on your side

You're wonderin' which kiss is gonna mean goodbye

And I opened up and threw all my love your way

Said words to you I'd never heard me say

I just sat there that night

And let your Carolina eyes pull me in

'Cause I never thought I'd see you again

.

Is it luck running into you so unexpectedly

Or is it fate that put you here in front of me

.

Did you know I fell so far in love with you?

Yeah, I told my heart that I had nothing to lose

'Cause time wasn't on our side

We were wonderin' which kiss was gonna mean goodbye

And I opened up and threw all my love your way

Said words to you I'd never heard me say

Gonna sit here tonight

And let those Carolina eyes pull me in

'Cause I never thought I'd see you

But it's so good to see you again
