Charles

We walked through the doors with heavy hearts

Looking for a place to make a brand new start

In those quiet rooms where the healing began

I found a gentle soul, I found a caring man

Charles, you were the sun breaking through the grey

Helping me find my footing day by day

And I will love you forever, till the end of time

Through every new chapter, through every mountain we climb

You’re the kindest heart that I have ever known

With you by my side, I’m never alone

We found our way out of the dark

Now you’ve got a permanent place in my heart

It’s been a beautiful year since we took the leap

Building up a life, making promises to keep

Packing up the car for those family trips

Laughter in the air and a smile on your lips

Every sober milestone, we celebrate the win

Look at how far we’ve come, look at where we’ve been

And I will love you forever, till the end of time

Through every new chapter, through every mountain we climb

You’re the kindest heart that I have ever known

With you by my side, I’m never alone

We found our way out of the dark

Now you’ve got a permanent place in my heart

You are so giving, you put others first

You love me at my best and you hold me at my worst

Charles, you’re the anchor when the waters get rough

I could live a hundred years and it wouldn't be enough

'Cause I will love you forever, till the end of time

Through every new chapter, through every mountain we climb

You’re the kindest heart that I have ever known

With you by my side, I’m never alone

Yeah, we found our way out of the dark

Charles, you’ve got a permanent place in my heart
