Charlie’s Day Off

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Charlie, you’ve been on the go Same old train, same old road Rain on the glass, you still showed up Tired eyes, but you never gave up We’ve had nights down by the Thames Cheap chips, jokes, and missing cabs You’d laugh like you knew something That we’d be fine in the end [Pre-Chorus] Now the week can wait Let it fall away You’ve done your part Now take your place [Chorus] Charlie, it’s your day Take it all in Charlie, it’s your day Let the good times spin You’re loved, you’re loved By the ones who know Your friends and your family They’ll never let you go [Verse 2] You work so hard, it shows In the quiet way you hold your load Always there when someone needs a hand Never asking for a medal, never asking for a plan From the pubs to the station steps From the long walks to the late regrets London kept some of your best years close And still you’re the one we’d most like to know [Pre-Chorus] Now the week can wait Let it fall away You’ve done your part Now take your place [Chorus] Charlie, it’s your day Take it all in Charlie, it’s your day Let the good times spin You’re loved, you’re loved By the ones who know Your friends and your family They’ll never let you go [Bridge] So slow it down Let the hours bend One more round With your oldest friends No rush tonight No need to prove Just stay right here This is for you [Final Chorus] Charlie, it’s your day Take it all in Charlie, it’s your day Let the good times spin You’re loved, you’re loved By the ones who know Your friends and your family They’ll never let you go Charlie, it’s your day Warm and bright and true Charlie, it’s your day We’re raising one for you
