lyrics

In another world we did everything right. We loved only one another. We never cried, we'd never fight. We got married in a small church. Your grandmother held me tight. And it was only a year later we had Caroline. From the first day she looked just like you: Tan skin and thick black hair. My mom said she had my eyes, so into my eyes I would stare. Caroline grew up quickly and Caroline learned words. She would talk until she fell asleep. She made us laugh until it hurt. And one day you taught her how to paint her favorite animals. And one day I taught her how to strum and make chords. She would never know our heartache -- she'd inherit only our love. We retired back to Michigan. On the lake we built a home. Caroline visited one weekend with her husband and a daughter of her own.
