Of Thee I Sing

From the island of Manhattan to the coast of gold

From north to south, from east to west

You are the love, I love the best

You`re the dreamboat in the sweetest story ever toldA dream I sought, both night and day

For years through all, the U.S.A.

The star I hitched my wagon to

Is very obviously youOf thee I sing, baby

Summer, autumn, winter, spring, baby.

You`re my silver lining,

You`re my sky of blue

There`s a lovelight shining

Just because of you.Of thee I sing, baby,

You have got that certain thing, baby

Shining star and inspiration

Worthy of a mighty nation,

Of thee I sing.
