Like the shadows of the morning
That climb up to the August afternoon
Charlie has a way of picking up the day
Just by walking slowly through
Maybe it’s a kind of magic
That only little boys can do
But seeing Charlie smile can make you stop a while
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
The world is full of lots and 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
