---------------------------------------------------------------------------1:
|
MERRY ENGLAND LIVES JUST SOUTH OF NOTTINGHILL,
| | |
IN DAILY DREAMS OF SHAKESPEARE LIKE SOME PISCES WILL.
./. |
THOUGH SHE'S NEVER BEEN BEYOND THE LADBROKE GATE,
| |
THE WORLD HAS SPUN AROUND THERE MANY TIMES OF LATE.
======================================================================CHORUS:
| |
CAN CAROLINE REMEMBER, HE THAT DID BEFRIEND HER,
| | (2-count) |
AND SCARCELY TOUCHED THE BEAUTY, OF A SADNESS ON HER SOUL.
| |
SO SUBTLE WERE HER CHANGES, NO ONE EVEN NOTICED,
| | (2-count) |
THAT MANY YEARS OF CRYING AND SHE BARELY LET IT SHOW.
| | |./. |
THAT'S THE PRICE YOU HAVE TO PAY TO GROW SO OLD.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------2:
|
ENGLAND'S TURNING GREEN FROM ALL THOSE YEARS OF RAIN,
| | |
LIKE MOSS ALONG THE FENCES DOWN OL' MEMORY LANE.
./. |
POETRY IN MOTION WHILE SHE STANDS THERE STILL,
| | |
SOME MAIDEN IN A CASTLE UP ON NOTTING-HILL.
*******************************************************************INTERLUDE:

I DREA-M OF ENGLAND AND HER AU - BURN HAIR, AND I MISS CA-RO- LINE.
