Carolina Breeze
Frost is thick up on the window pane
Kiss my baby while she�s still asleep
But there�s something that keeps me warm
It�s a little bitty beach motel
I go there often when the cold wind blows
We were young and barely had a dime
Just a little over twenty bucks
Chorus
Ice is forming on the weather vane
Wind is colder than an ice cream cone
Makes me shiver and it chills my bones
Looks so pretty I could almost weep
Hate to leave her but I have to go
Off to work in this cold wet snow
Keeps me toasty through this winter storm
Ignites my passion and thaws my toes
Tickles my fancy and warms my nose
Tucked discreetly where my daydreams dwell
Nestled snug in my memory
A special place for my baby and me
It brings a smile to know that nobody knows
I close my eyes and feel that Carolina breeze
But gas was cheap and we had the time
Rand McNally tucked between our hips
Seven-Up and a bag of chips
Bought a room at the Crown Deluxe
Vibrating bed and no TV
Paradise for my baby and me
Lace my boots and put my parka on
Look a little like Genghis Khan
Grab my mittens and I grab my cap
Wish I had a little bubble wrap
But Carolina is on my mind
My baby smiling and our hands entwined
Steady rhythm of the breaking waves
Warms me up on these chilly days
Chorus
