Fourth of July

Trembling, starry-eyed

As you put your hand in mine

It was twilight on the Fourth of July

Sparkling colors were strewn across the sky

And we sat close enough

That we just barely touched

While roman candles

Went soaring above us and baby

Then you put your hand in mine

And we wandered away, yeah

I was trembling inside

But I wanted to stay

Pressed against you there

And leave the world behind

On that Fourth of July

So starry-eyed on the flowery hillside

Breathless and fervid amid the dandelions

As it swept over me

Like the wind through the trees

I felt you sigh with a

Sweet intensity and baby

Then you put your hand in mine

And we floated away

Delicately lay entwined

In an intimate daze

A crescent moon began to shine

And I wanted to stay

Tangled up with you among the fireflies

On that Fourth of July

Thunder clouds (Thunder clouds)

Hung around (Hung around)

So threatengingly

Ominously hovering

The sky (The sky)

Opened wide (Opened wide)

Showering (Oh yeah yeah)

Then you put your hand in mine

And we ran from the pouring rain, baby (From the rain, yeah)

Tentatively kissed goodnight

And went our separate ways

And I've never truly felt the way

That I felt that Fourth of July

Truly I have never felt the same inside

Like that Fourth of July (Fourth of July)

Truly I could never feel the same

As I felt that Fourth of July, oh baby
