Charlie

Intro - ukulele, soft piano

Verse 1

The sound of little paws, a memory I keep,

Your tiny nails would tap, waking from my sleep.

A Maltese-Terrier mix, with spirit in your eyes,

A loyal little friend, beneath the morning skies.

Chorus

Oh, Charlie, sweet Charlie, my heart holds you so near,

For eleven precious years, you chased away all fear.

A quiet love song, softly sung to you,

My little island dog, forever shining through.

Verse 2

That joy when I walked in, a greeting at the door,

Your happy little dance, asking for so much more.

And car rides by my side, with windows rolling down,

Exploring every road, throughout our sleepy town.

Chorus

Oh, Charlie, sweet Charlie, my heart holds you so near,

For eleven precious years, you chased away all fear.

A quiet love song, softly sung to you,

My little island dog, forever shining through.

Bridge

Though time may pass us by, and seasons gently turn,

One truth within my soul, my loving heart has learned:

You're always with me, Charlie, and I, I am with you,

My precious little one, forever shining through.

Instrumental - ukulele, steel drum, piano

Final Chorus

Oh, Charlie, sweet Charlie, my heart holds you so near,

For eleven precious years, you chased away all fear.

A quiet love song, softly sung to you,

My little island dog, forever shining through.

Outro

Now feeling sunshine's warmth, beneath a leafy tree,

On a tropical island shore, wild and running free.

My Charlie, dreaming there, in peaceful, soft repose,

Where gentle ocean breezes, bring comfort as it flows.

Outro - ukulele fade, gentle waves
