WE WAITED FOR YOU TO BE BORN
WE KNEW YOU WOULD BE SMALL
OUR HOPES WRE WITH THE LORD THAT THAT DAY
WHY DID HE HAVE TO CALL
I WATCHED YOU SLEEPING
GENTLY TOUCHED
YOUR TINY HAND IN MINE
OH CHARLIE WHY DID GOD WANT YOU CHARLIE YOU WERE MINE
I SAT WHILE YOU WERE GIVEN LIFE
I SAT THERE AND I CRIED
I WISH I'D NEVER HAD THAT SLEEP
THATS WHEN YOU WENT AND DIED
MY HEART ACHED SO IT HURT TO BREATHE
I COULDN;T HARDLEY STAND
OH CHARLIE PLEASE FORGIVE ME
I WAS NOT THERE TO HOLD YOUR HAND
THREE YEARS HAVE PASSED AND STILL
I HOLD YOUR HEART INSIDE OF MINE
IT WONT BE LONG BEFORE
WE ARE TOGETHER ALL THE TIME
