Lyrics

Caroline, No

[Verse 1: Brian Wilson]

Where did your long hair go?

Where is the girl I used to know?

How could you lose that happy glow?

Oh, Caroline, no

[Verse 2: Brian Wilson]

Who took that look away?

I remember how you used to say

You'd never change, but that's not true

[Bridge: Brian Wilson]

Oh, Caroline, you

Break my heart

I want to go and cry

It's so sad to watch a sweet thing die

Oh, Caroline, why?

[Verse 3: Brian Wilson]

Could I ever find in you again

The things that made me love you so much then?

Could we ever bring 'em back once they have gone?

Oh, Caroline, no
