Lyrics
Charlotte's Web
by:Michael Halen
copyright 2012
verse i
Words
words that change our lives.
Things I told my little girl
now you think i've lied.
How was I supposed to know
when I let you go
you'd only let go
comin' home to me.
Think you came to see
if I was anything like you.
CHORUS
Growing girl
fill the world.
All these images are fillin' your head.
Special girl
aren't just words
spun in Charlotte's Web.
verse ii
Time
all this times undone.
Things I wanted to stop
to see what makes you run.
How our cross of fate
was finally gaining weight
everything just fell in to two.
Standing next to me
i think you wanted to see
baby if i'd stay with you.
CHORUS
bridge
Mothers and daughters
the things we do.
All these words.
All this time.
Baby you're not alone
you were never alone.
CHORUS
