Send My Love To John - Rina Sawayama

Lyrics by：Rina Sawayama/Lauren Aquilina/Marcus Andersson

Composed by：Rina Sawayama/Lauren Aquilina/Marcus Andersson

Cross the border in the summer of '73

Left my mother to go after the American Dream

Ooh threw away my name

Ooh it's easier when it sounds the same

All I ever wanted was for you to have a better chance

Go to college find a good girl that you take to a dance

Ooh pictured you with her

Ooh but that was never who you were

And I'm sorry for the things I've done

A misguided love to my only son

Trying to protect you but I guess I was wrong

So send my love send my love to John

Saw the way the kids treated you everyday at school

I should've blamed them but instead I hid behind the Bible's rules

Ooh prayed to God about

Ooh but all you needed was my love

And I'm sorry for the things I've done

A misguided love to my only son

We both had to leave our mothers to get the things we want

So send my love send my love to John

Ooh

Ooh John

And I see that he takes care of you

From the food he makes he's there for you

In all the ways I never was ooh

And I'm sorry for the things I've done

A misguided love to my only son

But I love to see you happy

And right where you belong

So send my love

Oh send my love

Send my love to John
