Lyrics

<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">All she ever wants is to walk in the morning&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; and listen to the sounds at the sun&rsquo;s first rays.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">All she ever wants is to lie down beside me</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; at the close of the day.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">All she ever needs is a gentle word, a reminder that</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; everything&rsquo;s OK.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">You can&rsquo;t be more at ease than Caroline.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">You can&rsquo;t live more at peace than Caroline</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lsquo;Cause Caroline has all she ever, all she ever wants.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">I could make a list that would go on forever</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; of everything I think that the world owes me.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">I easily forget &lsquo;tis a gift to be simple</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lsquo;tis a gift to be free.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">But Caroline reminds me that even in the common pleasures</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I can find a jubilee.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">You can&rsquo;t be more at ease than Caroline.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">You can&rsquo;t live more at peace than Caroline</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lsquo;Cause Caroline has all she ever, all she ever wants.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">When I first met Caroline, she was a puppy just three months old</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">Stumbling &lsquo;round her big new world -- couldn&rsquo;t even do what she was</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">told.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">Now when I&rsquo;m with Caroline, school&rsquo;s in session, but look who is</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">teaching whom a lesson!</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">All she ever wants is to ride by the window</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; open to the highway and a stiff cool breeze.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">All she ever wants is to run with that collie</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; who lives down our street.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">All she ever needs is for me to pat her on the head</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; and fix her something fine to eat.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">You can&rsquo;t be more at ease than Caroline.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">You can&rsquo;t live more at peace than Caroline</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;"> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lsquo;Cause Caroline has all she ever, all she ever wants.</span></span></p>
