Lyrics Caroline - Banfi

Lying here in bed
With things we never said
You're always the first to sleep
I whisper my goodbye
To all the happy lights
Wrapped around our ugly tree
Come sunrise
Your soft eyes
Will frown at my footprints in the snow
Come New Year
You'll know dear
I led you down a short line
And I'm so sorry Caroline
The more you became my hope
The more I was made to let you go
We lost our fight for time
And I'm so sorry Caroline
I'll try not to wake the house
I wish I could stay and hold you now
We lost our fight for time
For life
And some things that never came true For me and you
December '85
Grandchildren arrive
Pride can be a lovely thing
Everything I've missed
Reminds you of that Christmas eve
When life was caving in
Come sundown
This small town
Looks a bit like the place we fell in love Come New Year
You'll know dear
I led you down a short line
And I'm so sorry Caroline
The more you became my hope
The more I was made to let you go
We lost our fight for time
And I'm so sorry Caroline
I'll try not to wake the house
I wish I could stay and hold you now
We lost our fight for time
For life
And some things that never came true For me and you
Come twilight
This long ride
Is moving towards the afterglow
Come New Year
You'll be here
With me on the short line
And I'm still sorry Caroline
The more you became my hope
The more I was made to let you go
We lost our fight for time
And I'm so sorry Caroline
I'll try not to wake the house
I wish I could stay and hold you now
We lost our fight for time
For life
And some things that never came true For me and you
