A Quiet Little Love Affair Lyrics - Singles - Harry Chapin

When I met America, I didn't know her name 

But it seems she was something special even then 

I knew it just the same 

Yes, I loved the things she stood for 

Help the helpless make people free 

And I knew that an American is what I wanted to be 

It was the start of a little love affair 

between my country and me 

Oh, oh, my country tis of thee 

Well we both grew up, things were good 

Things that we had known 

Some said we had lost something 

Some said we had grown

Well time keeps rolling by my friend, 

Things can never die. 

But I had always wonder what would happen, 

Wondered when and why, 

What would happen to our little love affair, 

Between my country and me, 

Oh, oh, my country tis of thee, 

Oh, time went by and I forgot, 

Why I fell in love, 

Though I still pledge my allegiance, 

And soon I would wave the flag above, 

Didn't know why what we'd done, 

Didn't know where it flowed, 

Well I never knew if we had lost, 

If we had grown,
