    The text:
    Charlie, I have a feeling I won't see you again–

    you know you could die any day now

    Charlie, we'll remember your heroic heart and great humor–

    if I knew what you know I'd never stop crying

    Charlie, your love made so many of us happy

    becoming beyond knowing, goodbye.
