His Daughter Caroline

Eb7

[Verse 1]
Eb7                        Bb7
So few years ago her daddy held her in his arms
                                                          Eb7
Snugged the blanket around her feet to help and keep them warm
                                                        Ab7
When he kissed her tender cheek, oh, how her eyes would shine
                    Bb7                              Eb7
His every dream was built around his daughter Caroline

[Verse 2]
Eb7                      Bb7
He remembered every time she'd turn another year
                                                     Eb7
And, at the birthday parties, when he'd shed a happy tear
                                                  Ab7
Thinking of the wedding dress that she would wear someday
                  Bb7                         Eb7
When he'd have to give his daughter Caroline away

[Verse 3]
Eb7                                      Bb7
He thought of what he saw the night they called her from the roll
                                                Eb7
A silver graduation ring and engagement ring of gold
                                                Ab7
It seems as tho' twas yesterday he met her valentine
                    Bb7                              Eb7
And now she's grown and here to wed his daughter Caroline

[Verse 4]
Eb7                                 Bb7
Marching on his arm she whispered, "Pa, I still love you"
                                                      Eb7
Those words remained within his ears when she vowed, "I do"
                                                       Ab7
Cheer was sparkling from his eyes, but tears were in behind
                 Bb7                          Eb7
When he gave his heart away, his daughter Caroline
