[Verse 1]
The moon was shining bright in Carolina
The night we said goodbye so tenderly
And now that I'm away from Carolina
Won’t somebody tell the moon for me?

[Chorus]
Oh, Carolina moon, keep shining
Shining on the one who waits for me
Carolina moon, I'm pining
Pining for the place I long to be

[Verse 2]
How I'm hoping tonight you’ll go
Go to the right window
Scatter your light, say I'm alright
Please do

[Outro]
Tell her that I'm blue and lonely
Dreamy Carolina moon
Dreamy Carolina moon
Dreamy Carolina moon
