Rod McKuen - A Boy Named Charlie Brown Lyrics

Like the shadows of the morning,
'climb up to the August afternoon.
Charlie 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 Charlie smile,
Can make you stop awhile,
And get you feelin' glad you're you.

He's only a boy named Charlie,
A Boy Named Charlie Brown.
He's just the kid next door,
Perhaps a little more,
He's every kid in every town.

Well the world is full of lots of people,
Here and there and all around.
But people after all,
Start out as being small,
We're all A Boy Named Charlie Brown.

Now the shadows of the morning
Have gone beyond the August afternoon,
And Charlie's had his day,
His very special day,
His Morning and his Evening and his Noon.

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 Charlie Brown!
