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 or more
Silent cries I use to ignore
God knows I love her
Didn't mean to hurt her

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

She knows I really love this whole 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
But I forgot about loving her
Damn the money, diamonds and furs
What about the hard days
she had with the baby?
All she need is for me to love her

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

Promise I can't live without her
God knows I need her loving
And it hurts so bad that's she gone away
I hope and pray, she'll come back one day
In my life

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

Oh oh oh
Sometimes I cry
Charlene if you're listening would you call on me?
Because my heart is aching without you
Call me
