We could not find her anywhere
Honey, what's wrong?
Kim was here
The one who had to tell her was me
Oh, my God, it's my fault
I knew we were gone too long!
No, I think it's exactly
what I had to see
There are some things
that you left out all right
She wants her husband to go
to her place tonight
That's not how things were,
I just promised her
It's the same to her
Don't explain
There's nothing you can say
It's like she went insane
She tried to give away
Her own child
She wants your son to be
an American boy
Don't you see, she still thinks
she's married to you
You must tell her she's not,
she must hear it from you
'course it only depends if it's true
Please don't doubt me Ellen:
you're my wife
Lots of guys came back
and had no life
I had you
You can say what you want
but she's borne you a son
In your nightmares the name
that you shouted was hers
You've been with me two years
and not shared things you've done
Don't hold back
Let me see
Is it her now Or me?
Let me tell you the way it was
Back when I was a different man
Back when I didn't have a clue who I am
The feelings locked behind a dam
That kept me there in Vietnam
There in the shambles of a war
I found what I was looking for
Saigon was crazed, but she was real
And for one moment, I could feel
I saw a world I never knew
And through her eyes I suffered too
In spite of all the things that were
I started to believe in her
So I wanted to save her, protect her
Christ, I'm American,
how could I fail to do good?
All I made was a mess,
just like everyone else
In a place full of mystery
that I never once understood!
I wanted back a world I knew
The story of my life began again
With you
It's all right now,
I'm with you Oh Ellen,
I should have told you
We'll get through this,
we'll pull through
Will you ever trust me again?
All I want All I have
In my life In my life now
Is you Is you
