He was moring

And I was night time

I one day woke up

To find him lying

Beside my bed

I softly said

"Come take me"

For I've been lonely

In need of someone

As though I'd done

Someone wrong somewhere

I don't know where

Come lately

You are the sun

I am the moon

You are the words

I am the tune

Play me

Song He sang to me

Song He brang to me

Words that rang in me

Rhyme that sprang from me

Warmed the night

And what was right

Became me

You are the sun

I am the moon

You are the words

I am the tune

Play me

And so it was

That I came to travel

Upon a road

That was thorned and narrow

Another place

Another grace

Would save me

You are the sun

I am the moon

You are the word

I am the tune

Play me

Why do they sing Sweet Caroline in the 7th inning stretch and when did they start it?

It was started by Amy Tobey who selected songs at Fenway Park during games from 1998-2004. She used the song a few times and got great fan response, so much so that she got very superstitious about it (as do many Red Sox fans). She would play the song somewhere between the seventh and ninth innings if the team was ahead, depending on whether she felt the team was going to win.

In 2002, when new management took over at the park, they requested that Tobey play the song during the eighth inning of every game. 'They liked it and they just loved the crowd reaction with it and stuff," she says. Though Tobey says she was nervous the change would be bad luck for the team, its appeal to fans ultimately ruled.

And under the song's spell, the Red Sox won their first World Series in 2004 after 86 years. It was even included in the recent film ''Fever Pitch," starring Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore, that uses scenes from 2004's winning season.
