[Verse 1]
Charles, you left your cap by the door
Coffee ring on the old wood floor
Boots by the chair, keys in the bowl
You move through this house like it knows your soul
[Pre-Chorus]
And I hear your laugh in the hall
Even when the night gets long
You say, "hold on, hold on"
Then you pull me back where I belong
[Chorus]
Charles, Charles
Stay right here with me
Charles, Charles
You make it look easy
When the room goes cold
You’re the one I need
Charles, Charles
Stay right here with me
[Verse 2]
Your old truck hums in the gravel drive
Grease on your hands, still soft inside
You fix what breaks with a steady grin
And somehow the hurt lets go again
[Pre-Chorus]
And I hear your laugh in the hall
Even when the night gets long
You say, "hold on, hold on"
Then you pull me back where I belong
[Chorus]
Charles, Charles
Stay right here with me
Charles, Charles
You make it look easy
When the room goes cold
You’re the one I need
Charles, Charles
Stay right here with me
[Bridge]
If the rain comes down
If the wheels run thin
I’ll still know your voice
Like a light through the wind
[Final Chorus]
Charles, Charles
Stay right here with me
Charles, Charles
You make it look easy
When the room goes cold
You’re the one I need
Charles, Charles
Stay right here with me
