Caroline

He took a rib from a man

Made a woman

Never thought he'd make one just for me

Dipped his brush in the ocean

And painted her blue eyes

God took his time on Caroline

It took a hundred years or so

To grow that oak tree in our yard

And a million moons or more

To hone her heart

He made the sun in one day

All the stars in just one night

But God took his time on Caroline

I gave up faith in forever

I lost all hope in meant to be

Took half a lifetime for him

To put her hand in mine

God took his time on Caroline

It took a hundred years or so

To grow that oak tree in our yard

And a million moons or more

To hone her heart

He made the sun in one day

All the stars in just one night

But God took his time on Caroline

I don't take for granted one tomorrow

And I don't have the right to ask for more

But when it comes time to take us

Lord, please make me first in line

And take your time on Caroline

She'll make you a great angel

Your mansion in the sky

'Cause you took your time on Caroline
