Video clip

We were poor
But i was satisfied
And i thought that you were, too

You were pure
And i was terrified
I wasn't good enough for you

When they sailed
Into the harbour
I could see it in your eyes

I knew
That you were dreaming
Of leaving me behind

You 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 hand

He took pleasure
In the moment
In the measure of a man

Then he turned
And left me standing
And he asked you out to dance

But when you met
That yankee sailor
I knew i didn't stand a chance

You 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 tonight

We were poor
But i was satisfied
And i thought that you were, too

You were pure
And i was terrified
I wasn't good enough for you

You 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"
