Me And Charlie Talking

Me and Charlie boy used to go walking Sittin in the woods behind my house When bein 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 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 talking Charlie always said he’d like to leave here So he turned 18 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 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 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
