Woke up this morning
found a letter
that she wrote
She said she's tired
that I'm always
on the road
Too hard to swallow
being alone
She needs someone
at night that
she can hold
She must have
told me a thousand
times before
Silent cries I
use to ignore
God knows I love her
Didn't mean to hurt her
Baby I'll be
Sitting here waiting
on you to come
home again
I won't leave
Promise I'll be here
to the very end
By your side
To protect you
and to love you
and to be with
you for life
Come on home
to me Charlene
She knows I really
love this old
music thing
Since I was a child
it's been my dream
I can support her
treat her and
spoil her
You know buy her
the finer things
But I forgot about
loving her
Damn the money
diamonds and pearls
What about the
hard day she had
with the baby
All she need is for
me to love her
Sitting here waiting
on you to come
home again
I won't leave
Promise I'll be here
to the very end
By your side
To protect you
and to love you
and to be with
you for life
Come on home
to me Charlene
Promise I can't
live without her
God knows I
need her loving
And it hurts so bad
that's she gone
I pray that she'll
come back one day
In my life
Baby I'll be
Sitting here waiting
on you to come
home again
I won't leave
Promise I'll be here
to the very end
By your side
To protect you
and to love you
and to be with
you for life
Come on home
to me Charlene
Oh oh oh
