In Carolina's eyes I see the ocean   In Carolina's eyes I see the one for me   When Carolina's eyes fill with emotion   I see the better man she makes me wanna be   And I say, "Oh, Carolina, you deserve a better man than me"      A warm breeze blowin' from the sea tonight   And dreamin' bout my Carolina, prayin' that she's alright   I'm just a piano man singin' songs for people I don't know   Oh, Carolina, wish you never would've let me go      In Carolina's eyes I see the ocean   In Carolina's eyes I see the one for me   When Carolina's eyes fill with emotion   I see the better man she makes me wanna be   And I say, "Oh, Carolina, ah   You deserve a better man than me   Sweet, sweet Carolina, ah   You deserve a better man than me"      Spend my time in cars and planes and empty hotel rooms   Yeah, it's a beautiful life everyone assumes   But I am just a country boy in a world I don't belong    Oh, Carolina, tonight, I'm singing' them your song, oh      In Carolina's eyes I see the ocean   In Carolina's eyes I see the one for me, mmm   When Carolina's eyes fill with emotion   I see the better man she makes me wanna be   And I say, "Oh, Carolina, ah   You deserve a better man than me   Sweet, sweet Carolina, ah   You deserve a better man than me"      Mmm, mmm   Carolina's eyes   In Carolina's eyes (Carolina's eyes) I see the ocean   In Carolina's eyes (Carolina's eyes) I see the one for me   Carolina's eyes (Carolina's eyes) and you fill with emotion   See the better man she (Carolina's eyes) makes me wanna be   Carolina's eyes (Carolina's eyes)
