VINCE GILL lyrics - Oh Carolina

(Randy Albright, Jim Elliot, Mark D. Sanders)



[10/3/83]



Sunrise through the evergreens

Another day is born

The hills take on a golden glow

A Carolina morn



I used to see you in her eyes

Now I just got to know

Oh Carolina, how could you let her go



[Chorus:]

Oh Carolina, if I'd only known

Oh Carolina, I would have never gone



I thought the beauty of your hills

Would hold her here for me

I never dreamed while I was gone

You'd ever set her free

I trusted you with all my heart

And the only love I've known

Oh Carolina, how could you let her go



[Chorus 2x]



I would have never gone
