I dreamed I woke up
And you were gone
I reached out
But no one was there
I called your name
And nobody answered
And I wondered
If I cry
Would you care?
I had said I love you so many times
But they're just words
That you hear people say
And I never knew
Just how much I loved you
Until suddenly
You'd gone away
Now who'd stand by me the way you did?
When I was weak
It was you
That made me strong
And you had a way
Of touching my heart
Like the words
In a beautiful song
Oh, we had good times
And we shared the bad
So I'll take whatever comes
Cause you were the best years of my life
And we shared the cake
And we shared the crumbs
Then just before the hurt
Had built up in my heart
To a mountain
That I knew I could never climb
I woke up
I woke up to a beautiful world
And you were there
You were there
All the time
I love you, America
I love you, America
And if I sail
A stormy sea
Please be there
To shelter me
I love you, America
I love you, America
So just keep holding me close
And I will care
And we'll show the world
That what we share
Is still the greatest
Love affair
And I love you, America
I love you
