Lyrics
CHARLIE
Charlie once upon a time
You and I walking through Shadyside
Charlie you were a beacon in my night
That summer you were always by my side
Charlie I remember how you loved to dance
And the rain and the way you made me laugh
Charlie you were a gentle soul
I thought you were beautiful
Well the earth still turns and the trees still grow
And the ocean churns and the waves crash below
And the sadness that lingered behind your eyes
Is it gone
Charlie I only knew you for a little while
But I carried you through the years and miles
Charlie you thought I was good enough the way I was
I miss you
Well the earth still turns and the trees still grow
And the ocean churns and the waves crash below
And the sadness that lingered behind your eyes
Is it gone, are you home
Charlie I’ve been trying to recall
The last time I saw you, sunflowers in the hall
Charlie I’ve been wondering
The last time you wrote, did you say goodbye
Is that what I read between the lines
Well the earth still turns and the trees still grow
And the ocean churns and the waves crash below
And the mountains burn and the ashes fly
And the songbirds all sing lullabies
The songbirds all sing lullabies
