For the last time
She`s walkin` down
The little dusty road
And she´s greeting the people
(Who) live for yesterday
And she knows
They are talkin` `bout her
News came from abroad

She believes in words from far away -
read today
(Ooh) she`s bound for U.S.A. -
No, she won`t stay

Letter from America
Way from Arkansas
And she knows
This love can`t wait
Letter from America
And no road`s too far
And she knows
This man`s her fate
Letter from America
Letter from America

When she closes
Her eyes she`s flyin`
High up to the sky
Little visions of childhood
Tales of yesterday
But she`s feelin`
Her time has come now
She will leave tonight

She believes in words from far away -
read today
Ooh, she is bound for U.S.A. -
No, she won`t stay

Letter from America
Way from Arkansas
And she knows
This love can`t wait
Letter from America
And no road`s too far
And she knows
This man`s her fate
Letter from America
Letter from America
Baby, when tomorrow comes
Baby, when tomorrow comes
Baby, when tomorrow comes
I`ll be with you

At dawn the silhouette
Of a big foreign city is
Growin` out of the misty
Atmosphere of a new
Morning and she knows:
Those lonely nights are over
Those lonely nights are over

Letter from America
Letter from America
