Ayy, Charlie...
My love, you are with the Lord now.
Mayo, the house is quiet.
I remember the kitchen, how you used to cook
With that smile on your face, reading me like a book
You told me, "My wife, make a man happy and strong"
Now those sweet words are keeping me moving along
I am grateful, my Charles, for the love we shared
Nobody else could have ever compared.
Charlie, Niza is crying, she misses your face
Elijah is asking, who will fill up your space?
And me, your wife, I am missing you so
But I know you’re with Lesa, where the sweet rivers flow
Dwell in the house of God, my king, my guide
Till we meet again on the other side.
It hurts to look at your empty chair
But I feel your spirit in the morning air
You fought the good fight, now you rest in peace
In the arms of Jehovah, where the sorrows cease
Natotela, my love, for the life we built
I’ll raise our children without any guilt.
Charlie, Niza is crying, she misses your face
Elijah is asking, who will fill up your space?
And me, your wife, I am missing you so
But I know you’re with Lesa, where the sweet rivers flow
Dwell in the house of God, my king, my guide
Till we meet again on the other side.
Rest well, Charlie.
We miss you...
Lesa mupokelele.
Mmm, bye my love.
