My Carolina Girl
Music by Timothy Scott, Lyrics by Sarah Geis
V1) In my little town / I met a Carolina girl
She sparkled and danced / like a mountain stream
Pines would bend down / so they could listen to her sing
We had big city plans / couldn’t wait to leave
Chorus:
In my dreams we are back in that town
Music in the air
Me and my Carolina girl, with a dogwood flower in her hair
I can still find / Carolina skies
When I look into her bright blue eyes
And her warm skin / smells of jasmine
Someday soon I’ll take her home again
My Carolina girl
V2) I’ve traveled around / with my Carolina girl
We’ve been everywhere / we wanted to go
Time to settle down / in the place where we belong
In an old rocking chair / watching our children grow
Chorus:
In my dreams we are back in that town
Music in the air
Me and my Carolina girl, with a dogwood flower in her hair
I can still find / Carolina skies
When I look into her bright blue eyes
And her warm skin / smells of jasmine
Someday soon I’ll take her home again
My Carolina girl
Chorus:
I can still find / Carolina skies
When I look into her bright blue eyes
And her warm skin / smells of jasmine
Someday soon I’ll take her home again
My Carolina girl
