His Daughter Caroline

Chuck Berry——His Daughter Caroline Chuck Berry

So few years ago her daddy held her in his arms

Snugged the blanket around her feet to

Help and keep 'em warm

When he kissed her tender cheek

Oh how her eyes would shine

His ev'ry dream was built

Around his daughter Caroline

He remembered ev'ry time

She'd turn another year

And at the birthday parties

When he'd she'd a happy tear

Thinking of the wedding dress

That she would wear someday

When he'd have to give his daughter Caroline away

He thought of what he saw the night

They called her from the roll

A silver graduation ring and engagement ring of gold

It seems as tho' twas yesterday he met her valentine

And now she's grown

And here to wed his daughter Caroline

Maarching on his are she whispered "Pa I still love you"

Those words remained within his ears when she vowed "I do"

Cheer was sparkling from his eyes but tears were in behind

When he gave his heart away his daughter Caroline
