Sweet Caroline

Last week Neil Diamond finally revealed who the subject of "Sweet Caroline" was. This wasn't quite Carly Simon's "You're So Vain," in terms of mystery, but still: at her 50th birthday party, Diamond revealed that he wrote the song in honor of JFK daughter Caroline Kennedy. He saw a photograph of the young girl and was inspired to write the song.

Hey, that works for me. All I really needed was an excuse, am I write, people?

So, grab your coworkers, crank up the sound and sing along. YOU HAVE TO SING ALONG, and to help, I have the lyrics below the video. Enjoy!






Lyrics:

Where it began
I cant begin to knowin
But then I know its growin strong

Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Whod have believed youd come along

Hands, touchin hands
Reachin out
Touchin me
Touchin you

Sweet caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Ive been inclined
To believe they never would

But now i
Look at the night
And it dont seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when Im with you

Warm, touchin warm
Reachin out
Touchin me
Touchin me

Sweet caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Ive been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh, no, no

Sweet caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Ive been inclined
I believed they never could
Sweet caroline
