Caroline Lyrics - Singles - Dan Hill

Well I've been way so long 

I'm too numb to dislike it 

And LA'S one big hit song 

I never learned to fight it 

Dear Caroline 

It never meant to go this far 

It started out to be a game 

I never meant to be a star. 

And everybody smiles 

But their eyes stare out so empty 

From a face they scrub with Dial 

And the words that spill so fancy 

Dear Caroline 

I thought my songs would change the world 

Instead of slowly getting rich 

Off the emotions of young girls. 

And what really makes me laugh 

Is that nothing's really changed 

Since that day I left you years ago 

To find myself a name 

And what really makes me cry 

Is that it's only an illusion 

And all that success means 

Is just money and confusion. 

I've been told you settled down 

Found yourself a family 

I'll send my latest record down 

The critics tell me that it's happening 

Dear Caroline 

There's nothing really left to say 

I hope you still remember me 

After the songs all fade away.
