Goodnight, Sweet Caroline

by willabel ann garcia

Sweet Caroline

My darling, my love

The night is young,

Our newborn friend,

Oh its time to go in your bed,

Time to recover your strength

Sleep tight with thy brother,

Leave your burden in my carriage.

Tomorrow we’ll go far away,

Tomorrow will be a long day;

So baby

Don’t you forget to pray,

It could build you some courage

Let me be your little pillow,

Even for a single night

This morning I’ll be your shoulder,

We’re going to have a great ride.

I’ll catch you when you’re dizzy,

I’ll hug you whenever you freeze;

I want to be always near you

I dreamt so much of you,

I’m fancied by the colors of your hue,

Oh yes you did

I’m allured by you

Oh but I know

This will no longer be true

You are nobody,

But my imagination

A ghostly wind over my shadow,

Oh I love you,

Even thou you’re not in my arms

You left me

Alone over the tragic wars

But never mind

Let my silly thoughts be weary,

It is only tonight when I’ll let myself be happy,

So please, sweet Caroline,

Sleep.

And lay with me here

Even just for now

In our shortest second,

Touch me slight

Oh grip me tight,

Give me not your words,

But your smile,

Hug me no tender

But tight,

Cheer me no laughter

But delight,

Oh I need no last words

But you tonight.

Oh sweet Caroline,

Goodnight,

Tomorrow be ready for your flight,

Oh sweet tooth no longer a bride,

Watch me in and hug me your sky…

Tonight will be a pleasant room

So cherish me more

Like you’re not leaving soon,

Oh goodnight my little cake

Shelter me now

Don’t hesitate.
