Me and Charlie Talking

Me and Charlie Talking - Hit Crew Masters

Me and Charlie boy used to go walking,

Sittin' in the woods behind my house

When being lovers meant a stolen kiss

And holding hands with nobody else around

Charlie said he wanted to get married

But we were only ten so we'd have to wait

He said we'd never let our love run dry

Like so many do these days

So we treat our love like a firefly,

Like it only gets to shine for a little while

Catch it in a mason jar and holes in the top

And run like hell to show it off

Oh, promises we made when we'd go walkin',

That's just me and Charlie talking

Charlie always said he'd like to leave here,

So he turned eighteen and he left our sleepy town

Letters came and went

And I kept waiting for Charlie to come back

And bring the life he'd found

It's funny how time and distance change you,

The road you take don't always lead you home

You can start a love with good intentions

And you'll look up and it's gone

So you treat your love like a firefly,

Like it only gets to shine for a little while

Catch it in a mason jar and holes in the top

And run like hell to show it off

Oh, promises we made when we'd go walkin',

That's just me and Charlie talking

Now and then I sometimes think of Charlie,

How we thought we knew it all back then

Now I'd give anything to feel love from a child's heart again

So you treat your love like a firefly,

Like it only gets to shine for a little while

Catch it in a mason jar with holes in the top

And run like hell to show it off

Oh, promises we made when we'd go walkin',

That's just me and Charlie, me and Charlie talking
