Little Charley Franklin Lyrics

Me and Charlie Franklin

Sneaking out across the floor

We want to dance with Susan and there’s Bound to be a tug-of-war

I lose my nerve but Charlie’s cool

Susan proves that she’s no fool

As she laughs and chooses Charlie for the chance

Now Charlie’s gonna make that wheelchair dance

Little Charlie Franklin

Growing up on our street

Through all those years his

Doctors never thought he’d see

He never could walk, he never could run

He never had any trouble having lots of fun

Charlie runs on something deep inside

Something no doctor could prescribe

Charlie, everybody dies

But not everyone is wise with the time they’re given

Charlie, I just have to bite my tongue

When I they say you died too young

I know you’re still living

Little Charlie Franklin

Didn’t make it to our wedding day

But me and Susan

Sent the invitation anyway

And it was no surprise to anyone

When the early spring brought us a son

Laughing and dancing into this world he came

And Charlie Franklin will be his name
