0:01Well there might be a hole in the roof Charlie
0:03But maybe we'll see a shooting
0:06Star and we can make a wish on it
0:08Don't waste a wish on me
0:10Oh Charlie
0:14If your mother were here
0:18She would say that one's Mars
0:21She would hang you the moon
0:25And then she'd bottle the stars
0:29She would say brush your teeth
0:32Is that dirt behind your ear
0:37You'd be dreaming if your mother were here
0:44Evening love
0:46Evening love
0:47How is he
0:48Not good maybe you could cheer him up
0:52I'll see what I can do
0:54See you tomorrow
0:55See you tomorrow
0:58Hey Charlie
0:59Let's have another look at that notebook of yours
1:02I want to see all your new inventions
1:06Charlie oh Charlie
1:11If your father were here
1:15You would not be in bed
1:19You'd be acting out the stories
1:23From the books that you've read
1:26He'd be walking the plank
1:30Of Charlie Bucket buccaneer
1:34You'd be sailing if your father were here
1:42And if wishes were horses
1:46We could gallop away
1:49And if cabbages were watches
1:53I would know the time all day
1:57Ah but all we can offer you are dreams in every size
2:06So close your eyes
2:09Charlie Bucket close your eyes
2:16Looks like he's asleep
2:18Any luck
2:20Not today
2:21It's getting colder tonight
2:23Oh we'll manage
2:26I'm glad he has you
2:28I'm glad he has you
2:31See you tomorrow
2:32See you tomorrow
2:36We'll have to get you another blanket
2:38Won't we Charlie eh
2:46If your mother were here
2:49She would banish the cold
2:53And your dad brings the springtime
2:57When your mum's feelin' old
3:01As we're watching you grow
3:05Inch by inch
3:07By inch
3:07By year
3:13I would thank her if your mother were here
3:24Well Charlie if you won't make a wish then I will
Well there might be a hole in the roof Charlie But maybe we'll see a shooting Star and we can make a wish on it Don't waste a wish on me Oh Charlie If your mother were here She would say that one's Mars She would hang you the moon And then she'd bottle the stars She would say brush your teeth Is that dirt behind your ear You'd be dreaming if your mother were here Evening love Evening love How is he Not good maybe you could cheer him up I'll see what I can do See you tomorrow See you tomorrow Hey Charlie Let's have another look at that notebook of yours I want to see all your new inventions Charlie oh Charlie If your father were here You would not be in bed You'd be acting out the stories From the books that you've read He'd be walking the plank Of Charlie Bucket buccaneer You'd be sailing if your father were here And if wishes were horses We could gallop away And if cabbages were watches I would know the time all day Ah but all we can offer you are dreams in every size So close your eyes Charlie Bucket close your eyes Looks like he's asleep Any luck Not today It's getting colder tonight Oh we'll manage I'm glad he has you I'm glad he has you See you tomorrow See you tomorrow We'll have to get you another blanket Won't we Charlie eh If your mother were here She would banish the cold And your dad brings the springtime When your mum's feelin' old As we're watching you grow Inch by inch By inch By year I would thank her if your mother were here Well Charlie if you won't make a wish then I will
