Charlie

Intro - acoustic guitar, piano

Verse 1

The first time I saw you, a little happy pup

Your happy dance began, and filled my spirit up

You'd run in circles, a fluffy, gentle blur

Always right beside me, my devoted, loving fur

A tiny shadow, you'd never stray too far

A faithful heart, my brightest, guiding star

A special cuddle bug, so soft against my hand

The sweetest spirit, in all of this wide land.

Chorus

Oh Charlie, my sweet boy, it's been so many years

Through laughter and through silence, calming all my fears

Fourteen and a half seasons, a love so pure and true

A part of every memory, always watching you.

Verse 2

When I came home, your tail would quickly wag

Your happy dance again, no need for me to lag

You'd spin around so quickly, a joyful, feathered friend

Then settle close beside me, right until the end

A quiet comfort, a presence ever near

Chasing away the shadows, calming every fear

Your gentle breath beside me, a soft and steady sound

The safest haven, I had ever found.

Chorus

Oh Charlie, my sweet boy, it's been so many years

Through laughter and through silence, calming all my fears

Fourteen and a half seasons, a love so pure and true

A part of every memory, always watching you.

Bridge

My sweet baby boy, the bestest, loyal heart

Though we are now for a little while apart

Keep doing your happy dance, beyond the endless blue

My forever bestest boy, I'll always be with you.

Instrumental - piano, acoustic guitar

Final Chorus

Oh Charlie, my sweet boy, it's been so many years

Through laughter and through silence, calming all my fears

Fourteen and a half seasons, a love so pure and true

A part of every memory, always watching you.

Outro

Now you're running free, forever young and bright

Wagging your tail with joy, bathed in endless light

Watching over me, from fields of green and gold

A story of true love, that never will grow old.

Outro - piano fade
