Charlie

Charlie, I'll make a deal with you
After which you can do anything you want to
I know I've got the leg up
Because you're still only made up
But baby you know I wrote this song for you
Don't go kissing boys
Don't make a lot of noise
Let daddy sing ya songs
Just be real good.
Treat your teachers nice and fine
Have a healthy appetite
Do what you really, really want to do.
And if in fact you'r e married before the day I'm buried
Follow just my one and only rule:
In everything you do just remember through and through be my best friend
Baby, I'll be one for you.
Oh, Charlie, you'll be strong,
Charlie, you'll be smart
Charlie, you'll be anything you want to from the start
Charlie, oh, my baby
You l'l be every bit the lady
That'll go on breaking this lonely heart
I know how you'll be
Cos you'll be just like me
Charming, so alarming and a little crazy
The queen of some sand castle
An abrasive, rowdy hassle,
But kind and loving, fresh and bright, I know.
Come to me with problems
I promise i won't go try to solve them
I'll only tell you everything i know,
Like standing tall was all i had
Like boys are bad and love's a fad
That no one ever learns to just let go.
Charlie, you'll be strong
Charlie, you'll be smart,
Charlie, you'll be anything you want to from the start
Charlie, oh, my baby,
You'll be every bit the lady that'll go on breaking this old lonely heart.
Charlie, there's just one little thing before we meet some lovely spring
i have to go find you a nice momma
She'll be just like me and you: perfect in just what we do
And love us as strong as father and as daughter
Charlie, you'll be strong
Charlie, you'll be smart,
Charlie, you'll be anything you want to from the start
Charlie, oh, my baby,
You'll be every bit the lady that'll go on breaking this old lonely heart.
Oh, my darling, Charlie
Wow, oh ho...
