Lyrics

Charlies Place
 Graham Denny

I remember the summer when we used to meet
Each evening down at Charlies place
We?d hang out with the other guys
But spend most of our time
Sitting on our bench, just talking and laughing
While the other kids played

Sometimes we?d sit and take in the sun or maybe shoot some hoops
Always feeling you by my side
Then you?d stumble, and fall in my arms
We?d be silent for a moment
And then serious again, as we look into
Each others eyes

Babe I want you so and babe why did you go
Leaving me alone like this
Every single day, I hope and babe I pray
Once more I?ll taste your kiss

That last night when you sat with me so still
We carved our names right on that bench
As you walked you turned and waved goodbye
How could I know it was the end,
I wouldn?t see you no more

Twenty years now as I walk back up that path
And Charlie looks so old
Just an old guy marking time
Then he looks my way
As I sit on our bench and I trace our names
While the other kids play

Babe I want you so and babe why did you go
Leaving me alone like this
Every single day, I hope and babe I pray
You?re still the girl that I miss

Do you remember the summer when we used to meet
Each evening down at Charlies place
We?d hang out with the other guys
But spend most of our time
Sitting on our bench, just talking and laughing
While the other kids played
While the other kids played
