Song lyrics

Send "American Baby" ringtones to your cell

If these walls came crumblin' down 
Fell so hard, to make us lose our faith 
From what's left you'd figure it out 
We still make lemonade taste like a sunny day 

Stay, beautiful baby 
I hope you 
Stay, American baby 
American baby 

Nobody's laughing now 
God's grace lost and the devil is proud 
But I've been walking for a thousand miles 
Just one last time, I could see you smile 

I (I) hold (hold) on to you 
You bring me hope, I'll see you soon 
And if I don't see you, oh
I'm afraid we've lost the way 

Stay, beautiful baby 
I hope you 
Stay, American baby 
American baby 

I hold on to you (you)
You lift me up and always will 
I see you in life 
Hope I don't get left behind 

I (I) hold (hold) on to you 
You bring me hope, I'll see you soon 
And if I don't see you, oh 
I'm afraid we've lost the way 

Stay, beautiful baby 
I hope you 
Stay, American baby 
I hope you 
Stay, beautiful baby 
I hope you 
Stay, American baby 
American baby

73 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal It's okay. I think that Lessard shouldn't have resorted to a punk line, but at least there is some improving. There are better songs on the album.
