Where it began
I can't begin to knowin'
But then I know it's growin' strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along
Hands, touchin' hands
Reachin' out, touchin' me, touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe it never would
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe it never would
Sweet Caroline ...
When I wake up, yeah, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next you
When I go out, yeah, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
If I get drunk, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver, yeah, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you
But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be a man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
Da da da da (da da da da)
Da da da da (da da da da)
Da da da dun diddle un diddle un diddle uh da
Da da da (da da da da)
Da da da da (da da da da)
Da da da dun diddle un diddle un diddle uh da
But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be a man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door ...
I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the Five-And-Dime
I played it 'til my fingers bled
(Was the summer of sixty-nine) yeah!
Me and some guys from school
We had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit, Jody got married
I should've known we'd never get far
Oh, when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah, I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life ...
Oh yeah, back in the summer of '69, oohhh!
Oh yeah, back in the summer of '69 (oohhh!)
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you've got a job to do
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in
And that's where I met you, yeah
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh, the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Oh yeah, back in the summer of '69
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
Ooohhh, back in the summer of '69!
