[Dixie Yooper]

This is his exact quote:"It was a picture of a little girl dressed to the nines in her riding gear, next to her pony," Diamond recalled. "It was such an innocent, wonderful picture, I immediately felt there was a song in there."

Lyrics to Sweet Caroline(5 years old) Where it began, I can't begin to know when

But then I know it's growing strong

Oh, wasn't the spring, whooo

And spring became the summer

Who'd believe you'd come along

Hands, touching hands, reaching out

Touching me, touching you

Oh, sweet Caroline

Good times never seem so good

I've been inclined to believe it never would

And now I, I look at the night, whooo

And it don't seem so lonely

We fill it up with only two, oh

And when I hurt

Hurting runs off my shoulder

How can I hurt when holding you

Oh, one, touching one, reaching out

Touching me, touching you

Oh, sweet Caroline

Good times never seem so good

Oh I've been inclined to believe it never would

Like I said, a filthy mind.

I feel like that when I think of holding my Daughters when they were young, what Father wouldn’t?

Take the filth and politics out of your mind for a minute.

Those were good times for our Country, and the image of the Kennedy’s, a beautiful young couple, in the White House, and of that sweet little girl frolicking on the lawn. It was a metaphor for all that is right and good and full of hope for our future.

How old are you, anyway?
