Lyrics Lou Rawls – Charmaine

I can’t forget the night we met
How bright were stars above
That precious memory lingers yet
When you declared your love

And then you went away
And now each night and day

I wonder why you keep me waiting
Charmaine, my Charmaine
I wonder when bluebirds are mating
Will you come back again

I wonder if I keep on praying
Will our dreams be the same
I wonder if you ever think of me too
I’m waiting my Charmaine for you

You went away one dreary day
I knew you had to go
‘Mid tears and cheers I heard you say
«Charmaine, I love you so»

Though old years turn to new
My heart keeps calling you

I wonder why you keep me waiting
Charmaine cries in vain
I wonder when bluebirds are mating
Will you come back again

I wonder if I keep on praying
Will our dreams by the same
I wonder if you ever think of me too
Charmaine’s waiting, just for you
