Dolores keane my love is in america lyrics

my love is in america

and i miss him tonight

so much so

i feel like taking the money we've saved 

and catching the flight

and catching the flight



the children are sleeping well

and im on my own

even though i've read his letters

again and again, im alone, im all alone



but the money i've sent home is barely enough

there's an ocean that keeps us apart

i've been lonely from home, but i mustn't give up



what about this aching heart?



johnny come home, i need you tonight

i need you tonight



my love is in america

but it's hard to go out

just because certain asumptions are made

when your man's not about

when your man's not about



my love is in america

and i'm not so sure

maybe i rather him here in my arms 

and us to be poor

and us to be poor



still the money i send home 

is barely enough

there's an ocean that keeps us apart

i've been aching for home

but i mustn't give up



what about this aching heart?



johnny come home, i need you tonight

i need you tonight (i need you tonight)



johhny come home, i need you tonight

i need you tonight (i need you tonight)



johnny come home, i need you tonight

i need you tonight (i need you tonight)
