Lyrics Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash

Greatest Love Affair

I dreamed I woke up and you were gone

I reached out but no one was there

I called your name and nobody answered

And I wondered if I cry would you care

I had said I love you so many times

But they're just words that you hear people say

And I never knew just how much I loved you

Until suddenly you'd gone away

Now who'd stand by me the way you did

When I was weak it was you that made me strong

And you had a way of touching my heart

Like the words in a beautiful song

Aw we had good times and we shared the bad

So I'll take whatever comes

Cause you were the best years of my life

And we shared the cake and we shared the crumbs

Then just before the hurt had built up in my heart

To a mountain that I knew I could never climb

I woke up I woke up to a beautiful world and you were there

You were there all the time

I love you America I love you America

And if I sail a stormy sea

Please be there to shelter me

I love you America I love you America

So just keep holdin' me close and I will care

And we'll show the world that what we share

Is still the greatest love affair

And I love you America

I love you
