Amy Johnson Song lyrics And Guitar Chords

Written by Johnny McEvoy.A great song performed by Ireland's own Johnny McEvoy ...Amy Johnson (1903 -- 1941) was a pioneering English aviator. She set numerous long-distance records during the 1930s. and flew in the Second World War as a part of the Air Transport Auxiliary where she died during a ferry flight. Chords by Janet Clarke.

I remember when, first I heard your story from my Dad
 I think he loved you then, He told me of your dreams to soar above mankind
Amy how he worshipped you and loved the very ground you flew above 
But now you’re gone and all his dreams have faded out of sight
 And I wonder where you’re flying to tonight


He used to dream back then, 
that some day he could fly with you above the clouds
In your flying machine, and visit far off places he had never seen


Amy how he worshipped you and loved the very ground you flew above 
But now you’re gone and all his dreams have faded out of sight
And I wonder where you’re flying to tonight

Instrumental


But that was long ago, way back then in 1932 or so
You were in your prime, living in the world that he would never know


Amy how he worshipped you and loved the very ground you flew above 
But now you’re gone and all his dreams have faded out of sight
And I wonder where you’re flying to tonight


Sailing through the blue, on wings of shining silver, they envy you
Sweetheart of the air, 
how many hearts stopped beating, when they saw you there


Amy how he worshipped you and loved the very ground you flew above 
But now you’re gone and all his dreams have faded out of sight
And I wonder where you’re flying to tonight
But now you’re gone and all his dreams have faded out of sight
And I wonder where you’re flying to tonight
