Sweet Caroline
Glee Cast · Glee - The Music, The Complete Season One CD Collection [2010]
I can't begin to know when
But that I know it's growing strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd believe you'd come along?
Hands, touchin' hands
Reaching out
Touching me
Touching you
Ooooh
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe it never would
Ooooh
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Ooooh
I've been inclined
To believe it never would
Ooooh No No
