Charlene
Anthony Hamilton Lyrics

Woke up this morning found a letter that she wrote
When I woke up today, I found a letter from Charlene. In that letter, she had written that she's tired of me always being on the road.

She said she's tired that I'm always on the road
Charlene expressed her exhaustion to me several times that I'm always on the road, traveling for my musical shows.

To hard to swallow being alone
Charlene finds it difficult to stay alone without anyone by her side.

She needs someone at night that she can hold
Charlene desires someone with her every night, someone she can hold and share a beautiful bond with.

She must have told me a thousand times before
Charlene had already told me several times before about her emotional pain of my constant absence from home.

Silent cries I use to ignore
Despite her silent cries and emotional unfulfillment, I continued to ignore her and give more priority to my career.

God knows I love her
I truly love Charlene and deeply care about her.

Didn't mean to hurt her
My actions of choosing my fame and success over Charlene's needs were unintentional, and I didn't mean to hurt her emotionally.

Baby I'll be (be)
My dear Charlene, I will always be here for you.

Sitting here waiting on you to come home again (waiting on you babe)
I'm sitting here waiting for you to come back home again, hoping you will forgive me and give me another chance to make things right.

I won't leave
I promise I won't leave you alone anymore and would always be there for you.

Promise I'll be here to the very end (and I'll be here , yeah, oh)
I promise that I would be with you for life, in good and bad times to support and love you unconditionally.

By your side (oh)
I will be beside you always, as a lover, protector, and friend.

To protect you and to love you and to be with you for life (yeah)
My love for you is genuine, and I promise to protect and care for you always in my life.

Come on home to me Charlene
I'm urging Charlene to come back home to me, and I request her to reunite.

She knows I really love this old music thing
Charlene knows that I'm passionate about my career in music, and I genuinely love it.

Since I was a child it's been my dream
I've had this dream of becoming a successful musician since my childhood.

I can support her treat her and spoil her
With my successful career, I can provide her all the luxuries and spoils, which she rightfully deserves.

You know buy her the finer things
I can purchase for her the finer things in life that she always longed for, like diamonds, pearls, and more.

But I forgot about loving her
Despite all the riches, I forgot the most important thing, which is to love her wholly and completely.

Damn the money, diamonds and pearls
I realized that materialistic things like money, diamonds, or pearls hold no value if I do not love Charlene genuinely.

What about the hard days she had with the baby?
I forgot about the difficult days she had faced alone while taking care of our child.

All she need is for me to love her
Charlene needs nothing from me other than love and emotional support.

Sometimes I cry
I get emotional and break down in tears whenever I think about Charlene, our love, and our lost time together.

Charlene if you're listening
If you're listening to my words, dear Charlene, please feel my love and regret for my mistakes.

Would you call on me?
Would you reach out to me and forgive me for my mistakes?

'Cause my heart is aching
My heart is in immense pain and agony due to our separation.

Promise I can't live without her (can't live without her)
I genuinely promise that I cannot live without Charlene, and I'm nothing without her.

God knows I need her loving (oh)
I need her love and companionship, and only God knows how much it means to me.

(Ooh) and it hurts so bad (and it hurts)
Losing Charlene hurts me immensely, and the agony is unbearable.

(Hurts me so bad) that's she gone away, ohh
I regret that she has gone away due to my mistakes, and I can't forgive myself for that.

I pray
I earnestly pray and hope that she comes back to me someday.

She'll come back one day (she'll come home, she'll come home)
I firmly believe that Charlene would come back to me someday, and our love story would revive again.

In my life (in my life, ohh)
I want her to be in my life forever, as she completes me and makes me a better person.

Say I won't go nowhere, oh
I promise I would never leave her alone again and be with her always.

sitting here waiting baby
I'm waiting desperately for your return, dear Charlene.

I'll be witchu' you for life
I would never leave you, and I'll be with you forever, taking care of you and loving you wholeheartedly.

Come on home
I'm requesting Charlene to come back home to me, where she belongs, and complete our love story.

to me
I want Charlene to come home to me, where we can be together forever.

Charlene (baby oh)
Charlene, my love, and my life. I need you to come back to me and revive our love story.
