"Carolina" lyrics

Well my love is gone, gone
My love is gone
She went 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
