A Message to America
I was listening to music from the 60's, when I heard these lyrics.
You wander around on your own little cloud
When you don't see the why or the wherefore
You walk out on me when we both disagree
'cause to reason is not what you care for
I've heard it all a million times before
Take off your coat, my love, and close the door
Don't sleep in the subway, darling
Don't stand in the pouring rain
Don't sleep in the subway, darling
The night is long
Forget your foolish pride
Nothing's wrong
Now you're beside me again
I just want to sing these wonderful words to all of America!
Come on in out of the cold, America!
Nothing's wrong!
We can still be friends, still love each other!
If we got through two world wars, there's nothing out there that we can't handle!
Come on in out of the cold and come back to the family!
We can still all be friends!
Nothings wrong!
We've been through much worse and made it!
This is a song sung by the wonderful Petula Clark, composed by the wonderful Tony Hatch, with words by his equally wonderful wife, Jackie Trent, who together wrote and produced all of Petula Clark's wonderful signature hits, making the three of them one of the great creative teams of that great era.
I want to send out Jackie Trent's wonderful words to America.
Come on out of the cold, America!
Come in and be friends and family again!
God loves you and so do I!
Sincerely,
David S. Annderson
