Charlene

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 or more
 Silent cries I use to ignore
 God knows I love her
 Didn't mean to hurt
 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 thang
 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
 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
 
 Promise I can't live without her
 God knows I need her loving
 
 And it hurts so bad that she's gone away
 
 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
 Sometimes I cry

 Charlene, if you're listening would you call on me
 'Cause my heart is aching
