Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
She must have told me a thousand times or more
Silent cries I used to ignore
God knows I love her
Didn't mean to hurt her
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
She knows I really love this old music thing
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Promise I can't live without her
God knows I need her loving
And it hurts so bad that she's gone
I pray she'll come back one day
In my life
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
Sometimes I cry
Charlene, if you're listening would you call on me?
Because my heart is aching without you
Call me, see about me...
