Karaoke Me And Charlie Talking

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 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
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 then you look up and it's gone
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
Now and then I sometimes think of Charlie
How we thought we new it all back then
Now I'd give anything to feel love from a child's heart again
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 me and Charlie talking
