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 feeling 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
