it's hard to deal with this sudden news
everyone's looking down at their shoes
but weve got to be strong
weve got to stand tall
it's going to be hard
but dont let yourself fall
we still have his memories
he's still in our hearts
it's going to be hard when his family departs
weve all got a part of him...
deep in our souls
but Charlie will always be here to hold
Charlie's a daddy, a brother, a son
when he was happy
we had lots of fun
remember the good times
dont think of the bad
Charlie's the best thing any of us had
