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)

John come home i need you tonight

I need you tonight (i need you tonight)
