Caroline remember the glow of the rooftop show?
Lanterns hung by windows warming up the falling snow
We'd gather gowns and mittens bundle round the firelight
Caroling door to door beneath the silent Christmas night
Candles set in sills carols in the air sweet voices young and old
Here we come a-caroling our stories softly told
Caroline your laugh would echo down the frost-rimmed lane
Handwritten cards and snow-packed yards old love in modern refrain
Caroline oh Caroline where did those Christmas mornings go?
Stringing popcorn kissing children's cheeks the tree lights all aglow
Caroline oh Caroline the hearth was warm love was in your eyes
Now the roads are quiet no more singing under winter skies
But in my memory's window I see your face in candlelight
Caroline oh Caroline please bring back those magical nights
Caroline do you recall the sound of sleigh bells down the lane?
Footprints in the snow and rosy red cheeks warm again
Old sheets thrown over limbs for snow-angels by the light of the moon
Hot cocoa steaming carols echo a heart-warming tune
Neighbors' doors flung open laughter spills into the cold
We'd stand there in the frost voices brave and hearts so bold
Caroline your scarf was worn kissed by the winter's bite
You hummed Silent Night and all felt perfectly right
Caroline oh Caroline where did those Christmas mornings go?
Stringing popcorn kissing children's cheeks the tree lights all aglow
Caroline oh Caroline the hearth was warm love was in your eyes
Now the roads are quiet no more singing under winter skies
But in my memory's window I see your face in candlelight
Caroline oh Caroline please bring back those magical nights
Snowflakes drift wind's soft gift in weep of memory's song
I walk these empty lanes now; I know that something's wrong
But Caroline the night still calls bells ring beneath the stars
As I look up at the stars I wonder where you are?!
Caroline oh Caroline where did those Christmas mornings go?
Stringing popcorn kissing children's cheeks the tree lights all aglow
Caroline oh Caroline the hearth was warm love was in your eyes
Now the roads are quiet no more singing under winter skies
But in my memory's window I see your face in candlelight
Caroline oh Caroline please bring back those magical nights
Caroline oh Caroline I miss those Christmas mornings now
Glistening trees bundled knees the world dressed in fresh fallen snow
Caroline oh Caroline where every neighbor joined the choir's tune
Now silence lingers soft and long beneath the crescent moon
Yet in my heart's own hearth-light your laugh returns your smiling light
Caroline oh Caroline I'll keep your Christmas memory forever my whole life
