America, I Love You!

Performed by Dick Powell
Recorded October 9, 1940
Lyric by Edgar Leslie; Music by Archie Gottlier

Amid fields of clover,
T'was just a little over
A hundred years ago,
A handful of strangers,
They faced many dangers,
To make their country grow.
It's now quite a nation
Of wond'rous population,
And free from ev'ry king!
It's your land, it's my land,
A great do or die land,
And that's just why I sing:

America, I love you!
You're like a sweetheart of mine!
From ocean to ocean,
For you my devotion,
Is touching each bound'ry line.
Just like a little baby
Climbing its mother's knee,
America, I love you!
And there's a hundred million others like me!

America, I love you!
You're like a sweetheart of mine!
From ocean to ocean,
For you my devotion,
Is touching each bound'ry line.
Just like a little baby
Climbing it's mother's knee,
America, I love you!
And there's a hundred million others like me!
