Charlie Baby

Charlie Baby was written by Larry Hill in 1973.

This version was created in October 2024.

"Come down by my bedside,
Lie close unto me,
Soon I must leave you,
Alone with our dreams,
Together again,
We never can be.

Charlie baby, come blow your horn.
Charlie baby, come blow your horn.
And pipe me down a moonbeam,
Afore it be morn.

Charlie baby, come kiss my brow,
Charlie baby, come kiss my brow,
I love you, Charlie,
More than ever one night could allow.

Don't break the dawn, oh,
I cannot go.
If I could ask the time...
Would he not Slow...
Down - Slow down...
Hold this night still for me,
I love you more, Charlie...
Than one night... allows.

Charlie baby, don't weep when I'm gone.
Charlie baby, don't weep when I'm gone.
But pipe me down a warm wind,
To carry me on."
