Lyrics: Fourth of July
TremblingStarry eyedAs you put your hand in mine
It was twilightOn the Fourth of JulySparkling colors were strewn across the skyAnd we sat close enoughThat we just barely touchedWhile roman candles went soaring above us and baby
Then you put your hand in mineAnd we wandered awayI was trembling insideBut I wanted to stay (To stay)Pressed against you there and leave the world behindOn that Fourth of July (Fourth of July)
So starry eyed (So starry eyed)On the flowery hillsideBreathless and fervidAmid the dandelionsAs it swept over me (Swept over meLike the wind through the treesI felt you sigh with a sweet intensity and baby
Then you put your hand in mine (Your hand in mine)And we floated awayDelicately lay entwinedIn an intimate daze (Intimate daze)A crescent moon began to shineAnd I wanted to stay (Stay)Tangled up with you among the firefliesOn that Fourth of July (Fourth of July)
Thunder clouds (Thunder clouds)Hung around (Hung around)So threateningly (So threateningly)Ominously hoveringAnd the sky (The sky)Opened wide (Opened wide)Showering (Oh, yeah, yeah)
Then you put your hand in mine (You put your hand in mine)And we ran from the rain (In the pouring rain, baby)Tentatively kissed goodnightAnd went our separate waysAnd I’ve never truly felt the way that IFelt that Fourth of July (Fourth of July)
Truly I have never felt the same insideLike that Fourth of July (Fourth of July)Truly I could never feel the same as IFelt that Fourth of July (Fourth of July)Baby
