Me and Charlie boy used to go walkingSittin in the woods behind my houseWhen bein lovers meant a stolen kissAnd holding hands with nobody else aroundCharlie said he wanted to get marriedBut we were only ten so we'd have to waitHe said we'd never let our love run dryLike so many do these daysSo we treat our love like a fireflyLike it only gets to shine for a little whileCatch it in a mason jarWith holes in the topAnd run like hell to show it offOh promises we made when we'd go walkinThat's just me and Charlie talkingCharlie always said he'd like to leave hereSo he turned 18 and left our sleepy townLetters came and went and I kept waitingFor Charlie to come backAnd bring the life he'd foundFunny how time and distance change youThe road you takeDon't always lead you homeYou can start a love with good intentionsSongtexteAnd you look up and it's goneSo you treat your love like a fireflyLike it only gets to shine for a little whileCatch it in a mason jarWith holes in the topAnd run like hell to show it offOh promises we made when we'd go walkinThat's just me and Charlie talkingNow and then I sometimes think of CharlieHow we thought we knew it all back thenNow I'd give anything to feel loveFrom a child's heart againSo you treat your love like a fireflyLike it only gets to shine for a little whileCatch it in a mason jarWith holes in the topAnd run like hell to show it offOh promises we made when we'd go walkinThat's just me and CharlieMe and Charlie talking Aus Songtexte Mania
