Sweet Caroline
Lyrics and Music by Dave Wright
©2016
New York, I loved you in the fall and I love you even more
Now I’m ten thousand miles away.
I’ve travelled all around the world and I’ve seen so many pretty girls
But all of them seem to know your name.
Sweet Caroline I’ve loved you too long
Sweet Caroline I’ve loved you too long
Sweet Caroline I’ve loved you too long,
Too strongly to go on this way,
Too strongly to go on again.
So I just got into town and I’ve spent days tracking you down,
Only to find you’ve gone away.
I’m like a man possessed; I’ve got to put this thing to rest,
If only I could find a way.
Sweet Caroline I’ve loved you too long
Sweet Caroline I’ve loved you too long
Sweet Caroline I’ve loved you too long,
Too strongly to go on this way,
Too strongly to go on again.
Autumns in New York, and winters on the Seine
The cities all look the same, now you’ve gone away,
And it’s all that I can do, to keep from thinking of you,
And I’ve only got myself to blame.
Sweet Caroline I’ve loved you too long
Sweet Caroline I’ve loved you too long
Sweet Caroline I’ve loved you too long,
Too strongly to go on this way.
Sweet Caroline I’ve loved you too long
Sweet Caroline I’ve loved you too long
Sweet Caroline I’ve loved you too long,
Too strongly to go on this way.
Sweet Caroline,
I can’t turn you loose,
Sweet Caroline.
It’s the honest truth,
I can’t turn you loose,
Sweet Caroline.

Dave Wright & The Midnight Electric Melbourne, Australia
Singer/songwriter/bandleader Dave Wright is after one thing: A perfect 4-minute pop song.
When he puts pen
to paper and pick to guitar strings, however, the Melburnian-by-way-of-Colac knocks out epics and ravers and boozers about girls, cars, Australia, mariticide, Diggers, truckers, sadness, sickness, drunks, heartbroken mothers, angry fathers, desperate sons … and death. Lots of death.
