[Verse 1: Brian Wilson]
Where did your long hair go?
Where is the girl I used to know?
How could you lose that happy glow?
Oh, Caroline, no
[Verse 2: Brian Wilson]
Who took that look away?
I remember how you used to say
You'd never change, but that's not true
[Bridge: Brian Wilson]
Oh, Caroline, you
Break my heart
I want to go and cry
It's so sad to watch a sweet thing die
Oh, Caroline, why?
[Verse 3: Brian Wilson]
Could I ever find in you again
The things that made me love you so much then?
Could we ever bring 'em back once they have gone?
Oh, Caroline, no
Where did your long hair go?
Where is the girl I used to know?
How could you lose that happy glow?
Oh, Caroline, no
[Verse 2: Brian Wilson]
Who took that look away?
I remember how you used to say
You'd never change, but that's not true
[Bridge: Brian Wilson]
Oh, Caroline, you
Break my heart
I want to go and cry
It's so sad to watch a sweet thing die
Oh, Caroline, why?
[Verse 3: Brian Wilson]
Could I ever find in you again
The things that made me love you so much then?
Could we ever bring 'em back once they have gone?
Oh, Caroline, no
