Lyrics

When I met america, I didn't know her name
But it seems she was something special even then
I knew it just the same

Yes, I loved the things she stood for
Help the helpless make people free
And I knew that an american is what I wanted to be

It was the start of a little love affair
Between my country and me
Oh, oh, my country tis of thee

Well we both grew up, things were good
Things that we had known
Some said we had lost something
Some said we had grown

Well time keeps rolling by my friend
Things can never die
But I had always wonder what would happen
Wondered when and why

What would happen to our little love affair
Between my country and me
Oh, oh, my country tis of thee

Oh, time went by and I forgot
Why I fell in love
Though I still pledge my allegiance
And soon I would wave the flag above

Didn't know why what we'd done
Didn't know where it flowed
Well I never knew if we had lost
If we had grown

It was the last of a little love affair
Between my country and me
(Back ground: oh say can you see, my country tis of thee)
Oh, oh, my country tis of thee
