"The Carolina Sun" (new version) And we watched as the Carolina sun Scared away the clouds on the horizon We chased it to the California coast And watched it burn up and become a ghost The morning breeze played with her hair As I breathed in the clean sea air The sand was cold between my toes I passed to her a deep red rose I took her hand, placed it in mine And then her hair began to shine Here comes the sun, the day is new And this is too good to be true The clouds they parted, disappeared And then the glowing sun appeared I pulled her close and kissed her hard I knew the day would not be marred And we watched as the Carolina sun Scared away the clouds on the horizon We chased it to the California coast And watched it burn up and become a ghost We drove across the Texas plains With our blood boiling in our veins And we were nearly halfway there When I became so well-aware Our trip would take more than a day I didn't think there was a way To make it there to see it set But she just told me not to fret "We'll make it there, we'll find a way We won't let distance wreck our day" She pulled me close and kissed me hard I knew our day would not be marred And we watched as the Carolina sun Scared away the clouds on the horizon We chased it to the California coast And watched it burn up and become a ghost Yeah, we watched as the Carolina sun Scared away the clouds on the horizon We chased it to the California coast And watched it burn up and become a ghost And we were finally there at last The night was coming on so fast Clouds were moving in on the sun To swallow it, the day was done The California coast burned red The sun was gone, the sun was dead I pulled her close, she kissed me hard Our day was done, it passed unmarred And we watched as the Carolina sun Scared away the clouds on the horizon We chased it to the California coast And watched it burn up and become a ghost Yeah, we watched as the Carolina sun Scared away the clouds on the horizon We chased it to the California coast And watched it burn up and become a ghost
