Song for Sunday: Sweet Caroline

After the rather disheartening loss last night, the Red Sox are down 2-1 in the World Series. I think may be they need a bit of encouragement from home.

So Red Sox Nation, sing along:



Where it began
I can't begin to knowin'
But then I know it's growin' strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along

Hands, touchin' hands
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would

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 I'm with you

Warm, touchin' warm
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would

Oh, no, no Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
I believed they never could
Sweet Caroline
                       ~Neil Diamond




For those from away -- "Sweet Caroline" is sung in the middle of the eighth inning of every Red Sox' game at Fenway. Some say it is in honor of Caroline Kennedy, others that it was just a popular song that came to be viewed as a sort of good luck charm. Anyway:

GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!
