Story Behind The Song

This song was written by Casia of Canada. Through the ability of internet collaboration sites, Casia met singer and melodist, Christina Britton of Scotland. They are now soul sistas and have been collaborating for over two years. They are finishing their second album with composers, musicians, and mixers from around the world.

Song Description

Charlie Chaplin, probably one of the most romantic characters of the silver screen. How can you not love his charisma and his down to earth quest for love. I tried to include as many movie titles in this song as possible and still make some sense.

(V1)
I feel like I'm on the silent movie screen
Oh Charlie, you're heart is in the right place
Maybe, just maybe with one embrace
We'll have A Day's Pleasure and leave this rat race...
Behind us

(V2)
All work and no play makes a dull day
And everybody needs somebody sometime
Everybody sometimes needs to feel alive
To forget about all the cars and the Citylights...

(Chorus)
For what is life
Without love
What is love
Without a Song
You are the King of New York
Oh Charlie,
And I'm The Dutchess from HongKong

(V3)
If we close the curtain way too soon
Oh Charlie, the audience will never know
I'm A Woman of Paris, on with the Show
Just Twenty Minutes of Love
And you can see our hearts glow...
Our love grow

(Bridge)
All the lessons that we learn
Are Like The Circus
Like A Face In a Bar Room Floor
When I walk through the door
I want A Night Out, a walk in the dark
In The Park
Under the stars

(Chorus)
For what is life
Without love
What is love
Without a Song
You are the King of New York
Oh Charlie,
And I'm The Dutchess from HongKong

Oh, Charlie
Oh, Charlie
What is life without love
