[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning found a letter that she wrote
She said she´s tired that I´m always on the road
To hard to swallow being alone
She needs someone at night that she can hold
She must have told me a thousand times before
Silent cries I use to ignore
God knows I love her
Didn´t mean to hurt her

[Chorus]
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 2]
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

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Promise I can´t live without her
God knows I need her loving
And it hurts so bad that´s she gone
I pray that she´ll come back one day
In my life

[Chorus]

Oh oh oh
Sometimes I cry
Charlene if you´re listening would you call on me
Because my heart is aching
