ME AND CHARLIE BOY
USED TO GO WALKIN'
SITTIN' IN THE WOODS
BEHIND MY HOUSE
WHEN BEIN' LOVERS
MEANT A STOLEN KISS
AND HOLDIN' HANDS
WITH NOBODY ELSE
AROUND
CHARLIE SAID
HE WANTED TO GET
MARRIED
BUT WE WERE ONLY TEN
SO WE'D HAVE TO WAIT
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
WITH HOLES IN THE TOP
AND RUN LIKE HELL
TO SHOW IT OFF
HOH OH
PROMISES WE MADE
WHEN WE'D GO WALKIN'
THAT'S JUST ME
AND CHARLIE TALKIN'
CHARLIE ALWAYS SAID
HE'D LIKE TO LEAVE HERE
TURNED EIGHTEEN
AND 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 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
WITH HOLES IN THE TOP
AND RUN LIKE HELL
TO SHOW IT OFF
HOH OH
PROMISES WE MADE
WHEN WE'D GO WALKIN'
THAT'S JUST ME
AND CHARLIE TALKIN'
4 BAR
BREAK
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
RUN LIKE HELL
TO SHOW IT OFF
AH AH
PROMISES WE MADE
WHEN WE'D GO WALKIN'
AND THAT'S JUST ME
AND CHARLIE
ME AND CHARLIE TALKIN'
LA LA LA LA LA
