Lyrics
Caroline in wonderland, walk with daddy take me by the hand, through the desert like we used to do, underneath a southern sky so blue, yeah...all my life seems like I've been wastin', precious time Lord, hesitatin', all my life darling, I've been waitin' for you...Caroline in wonderland...(short instrumental break)...Caroline in wonderland, see your footprints dancin' in the sand, and I know your star was shining bright, when I dreamed of you that winter's night...Oh sweet Caroline in wonderland, in this life you'll have to make a stand, with your smile girl you'll come shining through...Caroline in wonderland...(fiddle solo)...all my life seems like I've been wastin', precious time Lord, hesitatin', oh what a child knows! I'm begotten of you...Caroline in wonderland...Oh sweet Caroline, take your momma's love to heart, the good Lord worked a miracle, the sun is always gonna shine again...yeah...sweet Caroline! in wonderland...your love, is takin' me by the hand, your sweet love, keeps takin' me by the hand, love...takin' me by the hand...
