Send My Love To John Letra - Rina Sawayama

Crossed 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'd 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

I 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 every day at school

Should've blamed them, but instead I hid behind the Bible's rule

Ooh, prayed to God above

Ooh, but all you needed was my love

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

I 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, 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

I 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
