Me and Charlie Talking歌词

作曲 : Lambert, Lambert, Little
Me and Charlie boy used to go walking,
sittin' in the woods behind my house
When being 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 and 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 eighteen and he left our sleepy town
Letters came and went
and I kept waiting for Charlie to come back
and bring the life he'd found
It's 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'll 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 and 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
