I WONDER WHAT THE WEATHER'S LIKE IN CHARLESTON
(Moneen Carpenter)

Bill Anderson - 1971


Though you never talked of always, you were gentle
And life was simple just because you cared
I never thought too much about tomorrow
I just could not imagine you not here

I wonder what the weather's like in Charleston
Someone said they heard that's where you've gone
I hope it doesn't rain today in Charleston
For I want you always walkin' in the sun

I'm sure you never meant to leave me hurtin'
But I guess the urge to go got out of hand
So you left without a word of explanation
I hope somehow you know I understand

I wonder what the weather's like in Charleston
Someone said they heard that's where you've gone
I hope it doesn't rain today in Charleston
For I want you always walkin' in the sun
