sunrise through the evergreens another day is born the hills take on a golden glow a carolina morn
i used to see you in her eyes now i just got to know oh carolina, how could you let her go
chorus: oh carolina, if i\'d only known oh carolina, i would have never gone
i thought the beauty of your hills would hold her here for me i never dreamed while i was gone you\'d ever set her free i trusted you with all my heart and the only love i\'ve known oh carolina, how could you let her go
