[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
