“Sweet Caroline” was inspired by a photograph of the then-9-year-old Caroline Kennedy. The lyrics were written a few years later about Diamond’s then-wife Marsha.

[Verse 1]
Where it began
I can't begin to know when
But then I know it's growing strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands, touchin' hands
Reachin' out, touchin' me, touchin' you
[Chorus]
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
[Verse 2]
But now I look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when holdin' you
[Pre-Chorus]
Warm, touchin' warm
Reachin' out, touchin' me, touchin' you
[Chorus]
Sweet Caroline
Good times nevеr seemed so good
I've been inclined
To bеlieve they never would
Oh no no
[Outro]
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Sweet Caroline
I believe they never could
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Neil Diamond released Sweet Caroline Radio Edit on Tue Apr 16 1968.
