Well my love is gone, gone My love is gone Back to Seattle like she said she would We were lovers once when we were young And I can't help but think we did it wrong We were so in love when we were young But time moves on, you fall out of touch That's the way it goes But when they leave, they don't really go Carolina on my mind I don't suppose you think of me I saw your mom last week I don't know why I thought she'd remember me All the time I close my eyes I go back through memories There's some good ones And some bad ones And some ones I can't repeat Well we all move on, on That's the way we're born And what we have becomes what once was But I pretend not to know Cuz I never really liked letting go Carolina on my mind I don't suppose you think of me I saw your mom last week I don't know why I thought she'd remember me All the time I close my eyes I go back through memories There's some good ones And some bad ones And some ones I can't repeat All the days and nights That crossed my mind I think of how we shared our life But thank god for the memories In my mind I'll always keep
