The Essential Frank Sinatra

What is america to me
A name, a map, or a flag I see
A certain word, democracy
What is america to me


The house I live in
A plot of earth, a street
The grocer and the butcher
And the people that I meet


The children in the playground
The faces that I see
All races and religions
That's america to me


The place I work in
The worker by my side
The little town or city
Where my people lived and died


The howdy and the handshake
The air of feeling free
And the right to speak my mind out
That's america to me


The things I see about me
The big things and the small
The little corner newsstand
And the house a mile tall


The wedding and the churchyard
The laughter and the tears
The dream that's been a growing
For a hundred and fifty years


The town I live in
The street, the house, the room
The pavement of the city
Or a garden all in bloom


The church the school the clubhouse
The million lights I see
But especially the people
That's america to me
