Carolina's Smile
I've seen the sun dip low on the water
And the stars play tricks on the sky
But nothing's got a hold on me harder
Than the light I see in Carolina's eyes
The way she moves, like warm September
Soft as a breeze through the old oak trees
There's a quiet grace I'll remember
A love that settles like a southern ease
Carolina's smile, it's whiskey and sun
Burns slow and warm till the day is done
She's the song that lingers, the calm in the craze
Yeah, Carolina's smile lights up my days
She's got a laugh like red clay thunder
Rolling down roads that know her name
And in her voice, there's a sweet surrender
That turns every promise into a flame
When the world's heavy on my shoulders
She's the light that breaks my fall
In her arms, it's like coming home
To a place I've never known at all
Carolina's smile, it's a jazz night tune
Soft and smooth, under a silver moon
She's the beat I can't shake, the pull I can't fight
And I'm all tangled up in Carolina's light
She's the rhythm I never knew I was missing
The harmony hidden in every word
A melody that feels like living
She's the sweetest thing I've ever heard
Carolina's smile, it's whiskey and sun
Burns slow and warm till the day is done
She's the song that lingers, the calm in the craze
Yeah, Carolina's smile lights up my days
Carolina's smile, it's a jazz night tune
Soft and smooth, under a silver moon
She's the beat I can't shake, the pull I can't fight
And I'm all tangled up in Carolina's light
And if the years start slipping, fading out of tune
I still hold her close, dancing slow beneath the moon
When the world feels too wide, too wild, too high
I find my way back, to Carolina's smile
Carolina's smile, it's a jazz night tune
Soft and smooth, under a silver moon
She's the beat I can't shake, the pull I can't fight
And I'm all tangled up in Carolina's light
She's the beat I can't shake, the pull I can't fight
And I'm all tangled up in Carolina's light
And the stars play tricks on the sky
But nothing's got a hold on me harder
Than the light I see in Carolina's eyes
The way she moves, like warm September
Soft as a breeze through the old oak trees
There's a quiet grace I'll remember
A love that settles like a southern ease
Carolina's smile, it's whiskey and sun
Burns slow and warm till the day is done
She's the song that lingers, the calm in the craze
Yeah, Carolina's smile lights up my days
She's got a laugh like red clay thunder
Rolling down roads that know her name
And in her voice, there's a sweet surrender
That turns every promise into a flame
When the world's heavy on my shoulders
She's the light that breaks my fall
In her arms, it's like coming home
To a place I've never known at all
Carolina's smile, it's a jazz night tune
Soft and smooth, under a silver moon
She's the beat I can't shake, the pull I can't fight
And I'm all tangled up in Carolina's light
She's the rhythm I never knew I was missing
The harmony hidden in every word
A melody that feels like living
She's the sweetest thing I've ever heard
Carolina's smile, it's whiskey and sun
Burns slow and warm till the day is done
She's the song that lingers, the calm in the craze
Yeah, Carolina's smile lights up my days
Carolina's smile, it's a jazz night tune
Soft and smooth, under a silver moon
She's the beat I can't shake, the pull I can't fight
And I'm all tangled up in Carolina's light
And if the years start slipping, fading out of tune
I still hold her close, dancing slow beneath the moon
When the world feels too wide, too wild, too high
I find my way back, to Carolina's smile
Carolina's smile, it's a jazz night tune
Soft and smooth, under a silver moon
She's the beat I can't shake, the pull I can't fight
And I'm all tangled up in Carolina's light
She's the beat I can't shake, the pull I can't fight
And I'm all tangled up in Carolina's light
