Like the shadows of the morning Climb up to the August afternoon Charley has a way of picking up the day Just by walking slowly in a room Maybe it's a kind of magic That only little boys can do But seeing Charley's smile Can make you stop for a while And get you feeling glad you're you He's only a boy named Charley A boy named Charley Brown He's just a kid next door Perhaps a little more He's every kid in every town While the world is full of lots of people Here and there and all around But people after all Start out as being small And we're all a boy named Charley Brown He's only a boy named Charley A boy named Charley Brown He's just a kid next door Perhaps a little more He's every kid in every town While the world is full of lots of people Here and there and all around But people after all Start out as being small And we're all a boy named Charley Brown.
