Clark Ford - America I Miss You Lyrics

America I miss you, but in my dreams you're still alive
A place that I believed in, that honored truth instead of lies
A place where every man woman and child had worth
A place where people valued the beauty of the earth

I can see you in my mind, I didn't ever want to part
I remember with tears of joy, and your passing breaks my heart
Oh, America I loved you so
America it's hard to let you go
Oh, America I still hold you dear
America, don't give in to fear

America, I miss you, how you once stood so strong
For decency, democracy, for right over wrong
A place where freedom rang from ev'ry hill and peak
A place that honored dignity and lifted up the weak

I can see you in my mind, I didn't ever want to part
I remember with tears of joy, and your passing breaks my heart
Oh, America I loved you so
America it's hard to let you go
Oh, America I still hold you dear
America, don't give in to fear

We've seen mighty kingdoms come and go, empires rise and fall
But America stood proudly for the rights of all

I can see you in my mind, I didn't ever want to part
I remember with tears of joy, and your passing breaks my heart
Oh, America I loved you so
America it's hard to let you go
Oh, America I still hold you dear
America, don't give in to fear
