caroline i see you

caroline, i see you standing on the stairway, waiting for your bear there. handy on the landing, penny in my pocket, high enough to hold you. when i come back home to you tomorrow, you may well be angry, i'll for sure be hungry. meet me in the middle, make it melt like chocolate, be my little baby. i take you down by the water some december morning. take you from your family, leave them with their longing. take you by your hand, somewhere on the sand. caroline, i love you, though i'm late to say so, hesitate to tell you. what will be your answer some december morning?, standing on the stairway, caroline, i see you.
