charley
I coulda sat with with him forever
His voice a tranquil sea,
Carried me to places
Beyond infinity,
Carried me to places
I sure wanted to be.
Charley took me everywhere
Showed everything there was to see
And at the end of every destination
Sitting there was Charley and me.
Some thrill your soul,
Compel it to new heights.
Some thrill your heart
With love that feels just right.
Some thrill your mind,
Connect unrelated facts.
Charley did much more but he sure did all of that.
Some help you see
Your dreams with their light.
Some help you doubt
What you always knew was right.
Some help you think
Thoughts you never thought about.
Charley did much more but he sure did all of that.
Some teach you to fly
See the forest's core.
Some teach you to swim,
Reach safety’s shore.
Some teach you to dive,
Turn round water flat.
Charley did much more but he sure did all of that.
Beauty can make you laugh,
Also make you cry,
Show you how to live,
Show you how to die.
Spark the essence of a purring cat
Charley did much more but he sure did all of that.
There's things you remember,
There's things you don't.
There's things you will.
There's things you won’t.
Then there's things like Charley that become part of you.
Surely you know, that'll more than do.
I coulda sat with with him forever.
Maybe I did too.
There's worlds a'waiting.
The old becomes new.
