His Daughter Caroline

Eb7

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

[Verse 2]
Eb7                      Bb7
He remembered every time she'd turn 
another year

And, at the birthday parties, when 
                  Eb7
he'd shed a happy tear
Thinking of the wedding dress that 
               Ab7
she would wear someday
                  Bb7              
When he'd have to give his daughter
           Eb7
 Caroline away

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

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