Carolinah, do your lips
Still taste like strawberry wine
Summer air, and chamomile?

When you pass by, do the stars
Still stop and look in your eyes?
I know just how they must feel
In the morning, do you still
Rise like a flower, child

And shake the nighttime from your hair?
In the twilight hours
Do you get up and take a morning shower?
I'd give anything to be there

Carolinah, let's get higher
Hold my hand and understand
Whatever I love I call my home
Carolinah

Close your eyes and remember the starlit sky
Did your boyfriend leave you alone?
And in the morning
Do you still rise like a flower, child

And shake the nighttime
From your long, dark hair?
Would it be all right to call
On you some summer night?

Just say the word and I'll be there
Hold my hand whatever I love I call my home
I'm a man and you're my summer daydream girl

Carolinah, let's get higher.
Hold my hand
Whatever I love I call my home
Carolinah, let's get higher now
Carolinah, Carolinah, Carolinah
