Sing Me A Song About Charlie ~*Marge Tindal*~ Oh, sing me a song about Charlie before he went off to the war Sing me a song … bring his memory home though Charlie won’t be home anymore~ Buried deep in a sand-covered heap Charlie laid down his life for us all For the freedoms I know … all the Charlie’s I owe because they answered this nation’s call~ So sing me a song about Charlie Tell of his valor and his might Sing to me … a haunting melody of Charlie before the fight~ Bring him back home to this country that honors the fact that he paid the ultimate price for our freedom over this land where Charlie’s body now lays~ "All gave some … some gave all" July 4, 2006 ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

So sing me a song about Charlie Tell of his valor and his might Sing to me … a haunting melody of Charlie before the fight~ Bring him back home to this country that honors the fact that he paid the ultimate price for our freedom over this land where Charlie’s body now lays~ tearful response to a very beautiful tribute...thank you Margie |
