Smokie — American Girl lyrics

Lyrics

Ooh yeah
She was just an American girl
Oh, but how she could move me When we were but two strangers in the night
She was out of sight
And the music kept drawing her near
And her body was swaying
As if silently saying 'I'll be with you
Before the night is through'
And her eyes where like a starlight
Her skin was soft as snow
She looked like heaven to me And if only she’d loved me Well I guess I’ll never know
But I’ll always love you
American girl
American girl
And the juke box was starting to play
And we danced till the night turned to day
With the same old familiar song
The guitar moves along
Oh, move along
When darkness surrounds me I wanna die
And no one have time
To ask me why
They don’t even try
Through all those rainy days
She helped me fly
But darling
I can’t, I can’t fly
Now I’ve lost my American girl
As I sit in my room
When the memories haunt me through yesterday
She’s so far away
But the music is lingering on And I find myself hearing a tune
Of the same old familiar song
It goes on and on and on Yes, I’ll always love you, American girl
I’ll always love you, American girl
