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 cried, 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 would 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
Ah, we had good times and we shared the bad, so I′ll take
Whatever comes, because 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 won't 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
