Lyrics

I can't forget the night we met

How bright were stars above

That precious memory lingers yet

When you declared your love

And then you went away

And now each night and day...

I wonder why you keep me waiting

Charmaine, my Charmaine

I wonder when bluebirds are mating

Will you come back again

I wonder if I keep on praying

Will our dreams be the same

I wonder if you ever think of me too

I'm waiting my Charmaine for you

You went away one dreary day

I knew you had to go

'Mid tears and cheers I heard you say

"Charmaine, I love you so"

Though old years turn to new

My heart keeps calling you...

I wonder why you keep me waiting

Charmaine cries in vain

I wonder when bluebirds are mating

Will you come back again

I wonder if I keep on praying

Will our dreams by the same

I wonder if you ever think of me too

Charmaine's waiting, just for you
