Letra de Yankee Sailor
We were poor But I was satisfied And I thought that you were, tooYou were pure And I was terrified I wasn't good enough for youWhen they sailed Into the harbour I could see it in your eyesI knew That you were dreaming Of leaving me behindYou say "America is beautiful" And I sure hope you're right If I could see you across the water I'd say "America is beautiful tonight" I'd say "America is beautiful tonight"When I met That Yankee sailor He stood tall and shook my handHe took pleasure In the moment In the measure of a manThen he turned And left me standing And he asked you out to danceBut when you met That Yankee sailor I knew I didn't stand a chanceYou say "America is beautiful" And I sure hope you're right If I could see you across the water I'd say "America is beautiful tonight" I'd say "America is beautiful tonight" Beautiful tonightWe were poor But I was satisfied And I thought that you were, tooYou were pure And I was terrified I wasn't good enough for youYou say "America is beautiful" And I sure hope you're right If I could see you across the water I'd say "America is beautiful tonight" I'd say "America is beautiful tonight" I'd say "America is beautiful tonight"
