[Verse 1]
He took a rib from a man
Made a woman
Never thought he'd make one just for me
Dipped his brush in the ocean
And painted her blue eyes
God took his time on Caroline

[Chorus]
It took a hundred years or so
To grow that oak tree in our yard
And a million moons or more
To hone her heart
He made the sun in one day
All the stars in just one night
But God took his time on Caroline

[Verse 2]
I gave up faith in forever
I lost all hope in meant to be
Took half a lifetime for him
To put her hand in mine
God took his timе on Caroline

[Chorus]
It took a hundred years or so
To grow that oak tree in our yard
And a million moons or morе
To hone her heart
He made the sun in one day
All the stars in just one night
But God took his time on Caroline
[Verse 3]
I don't take for granted one tomorrow
And I don't have the right to ask for more
But when it comes time to take us
Lord, please make me first in line
And take your time on Caroline

[Outro]
She'll make you a great angel
Your mansion in the sky
'Cause you took your time on Caroline
