His Daughter Caroline Lyrics

His Daughter Caroline lyrics

So few years ago her daddy held her in his arms

 Snugged the blanket around her feet to help and keep 'em warm

 When he kissed her tender cheek, oh, how her eyes would shine

 His ev'ry dream was built around his daughter Caroline

 

 He remembered ev'ry time she'd turn another year

 And, at the birthday parties, when he'd shed a happy tear

 Thinking of the wedding dress that she would wear someday

 When he'd have to give his daughter Caroline away

 

 He thought of what he saw the night they called her from the roll

 A silver graduation ring and engagement ring of gold

 It seems as tho' twas yesterday he met her valentine

 And now she's grown and here to wed his daughter Caroline

 

 Maarching on his arm she whispered, "Pa, I still love you"

 Those words remained within his ears when she vowed, "I do"

 Cheer was sparkling from his eyes, but tears were in behind

 When he gave his heart away, his daughter Caroline
