Carolina Moon

[Verse 1]
I wasn't going to tell you that I loved you
I wasn't going to say a single thing
I would have left you all alone
You'd go back on home
I'd try to forget the joy you bring
I just had to tell you that I loved you
It's the on the thing, was playing my whole hand
I meant every word I said in my kitchen, in my bed
And for your sake I'll try to understand

[Chorus]
If we have time for this, it's not right now
You've made it clear that you won't change your tune
But if you'd ever like to see me
And think it might be easy
Come dance under the Carolina moon

[Verse 2]
Honey, it's just so damn good to see you
Even if you're only on a screen
What's it likе in Arizona?
Happy birthday, are you gonna
Go out dancing in the cowboy scenе?
Looks like empty chairs and empty tables
On a Wednesday night at the Mutiny
But underneath the red light glow
I let my memories play a show
Of you laughing at my jokes and holding me

[Chorus]
If we had time for this we'd know by know
If there is a time it isn't soon
But if you're ever in the mountains
And you're tired of days you're counting
Come dance under the Carolina moon

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Anyway, let's try not to be strangers
But for now it's probably for the best
And in the time we aren't speaking
I hope you find all that you're seeking
Where I'll be is anybody's guess

[Chorus]
We had time for us, I cannot see how
Things might never be as they were in June
But if you'd ever like to see me
And you think it might be easy
Come dance under the Carolina moon

[Outro]
If you're ever done with London
Call my name, I'll come running
And I'll take you to the Carolina moon
