Caroline

He took a rib from a man and 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
It 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
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 moment
And I don't have a 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 in your mansion in the sky
'Cause you took your time on Caroline
