Young Caroline

Let me tell you a little about your name
It's important you remember every word
It will comfort you when sad
And help you through when times are bad
Now listen girl and keep this in your heart

It says despite wherever you may go
You carry with you a little bit of home
That something sacred's in control
A quick reminder for your soul
It's a promise that you'll never be alone

It's the first thing that is yours
Something given upon birth
Try not to make your momma say it mad
It's a warmth for when you're cold
A memory for when you're old
Keep it safe now, young Caroline

Let me tell you bout my aunt Marie
Your mommas middle name and yours too
She's was the best the world had known
Till God the father called her home
She sure would have fell in love with you

There's a name that you will keep until you marry
When You've finally met someone that you love
Just stay patient until then
Find a lifelong best friend
Always remember where you're from

It's the first thing that is yours
Something given upon birth
Try not to make your daddy say it mad
It's a warmth for when you're cold
A memory for when you're old
Keep it safe now, young Caroline

I never reference modern things in lyrics
I've got a set of rules for writing songs
I stick to them and stay true
But I'll break my rules for you
I had a little help pulling this off

Your grandpa called me up with an idea
He wished that he could put it in a song
He said he wouldn't know where to start
But you filled a hole inside his heart
Left by all those gone on before

So now here's a little piece of me for you
I can't promise you I'll always be around
But just know that you're with me
Matter not where I may be
It's important that you know how much you're loved

This is the first song that is yours
Something written from my heart
I'm crying like a child over these words
If you're ever feeling down
Remember your name is your crown
Keep it safe now young Caroline

If something ever makes you blue
Know I'll be right there for you
We'll keep you safe now, young Caroline
