[INTRO – instrumental] [Soft pads + arpeggio] [Falsetto choir softly] oh-oh / ah-ah / Charlene [Lower voice spoken] “Charlene…” [VERSE 1] Midnight lights are fading slow, I see your picture in the glow. Every memory cuts so deep, Charlene, you’re in the dreams I keep. I still hear your whisper in the rain, Love like ours can’t fade away. Every tear is calling your name, Oh Charlene, I feel the same. [Lower voice ad-libs] “so deep… / your name…” [PRE-CHORUS] Oh baby, don’t you turn away, This love still burns inside me today. [Falsetto echo] “inside me…” [CHORUS] Charlene – you’re my heart, my destiny, You’re the flame inside the night for me. Charlene – don’t let this feeling die, Our love will never say goodbye. Charlene – I’m lost in your light, Dancing through the dark tonight. Charlene – you’re my sweet obsession, You’re my only true confession. [Falsetto choir] oh-oh / Charlene [POST-CHORUS – instrumental] [Arpeggio hook + pads, no lead vocal] [VERSE 2] Every song reminds me of you, Every shadow feels like two. In the mirror I see your face, Time can never take your place. When I walk through the city light, I feel your touch in the neon night. You say goodbye, but it’s not the end, ’Cause Charlene, I’ll call again. [Lower voice ad-libs] “again… / my love…” [PRE-CHORUS] Oh baby, don’t you hear my cry? Love like ours can never die. [Falsetto echo] “never die…” [CHORUS] Charlene – you’re my heart, my destiny, You’re the flame inside the night for me. Charlene – don’t let this feeling die, Our love will never say goodbye. Charlene – I’m lost in your light, Dancing through the dark tonight. Charlene – you’re my sweet obsession, You’re my only true confession. [BRIDGE – breakdown] [Drums drop] [Heartbeat bass only] [Falsetto choir] oh-oh / ah-ah [Lower voice whispered] “Every night… I see your eyes…” [FINAL CHORUS + OUTRO] Charlene – you’re my heart, my destiny, Fire and desire keep calling me. Charlene – you’re my moon, my sun, my light, Forever yours – tonight, tonight! Charlene – oh sweet Charlene, The deepest dream I’ve ever seen. Charlene – I still believe in you, My love is forever true. [OUTRO – instrumental fade] [Falsetto choir fading] Charlene… oh-oh [Synths fade out]
