"Caroline" lyrics

He took a rib from a man and made a woman
Never thought he'd make one just for me
Dipped his brush in the ocean
And painted her blue eyes
God took His time on Caroline

It took a hundred years or so
To grow that oak tree in our yard
And a million moons or more
To hone her heart
He made the sun in one day
All the stars in just one night
But God took His time on Caroline

I gave up faith in forever
I lost all hope in meant to be
Took half a lifetime
For Him to put her hand in mine
God took His time on Caroline

It took a hundred years or so
To grow that oak tree in our yard
And a million moons or more
To hone her heart
He made the sun in one day
All the stars in just one night
But God took His time on Caroline

I don't take for granted one tomorrow
And I don't have the right to ask for more
But when it comes time to take us
Lord please make me first in line
And take Your time on Caroline

She'll make You a great angel
Your mansion in the sky
'Cause You took Your time on Caroline
