A Quiet Little Love Affair lyrics
Song information
Artist: Harry Chapin Album: Last Protest Singer
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
