Fourth Of July

Fourth Of July

Trembling
Starry-eyed
As you put your hand in mine

It was twilight onthe Fourth of July
Sparkling colors were strewn across the sky
And we sat close enough that we just barely touched
While Roman candles wentsoaring over us, and baby

Then you put your hand in mine
And we wandered away (away)
I was trembling inside
But I wanted to stay (stay)
Pressed against you there
And leave the world behind
On that Fourth of July

(Oh-oh-oh)

So starry-eyed (so starry-eyed), on the flowery hillside
Breathless and fervid, amid the dandelions
As it swept-over me (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 (you put your hand in mine)
And we floated-away (away, yeah)
Delicately lay entwined
In an intimate daze (in an intimate daze)
A crescent Moon began to shine (began to shine)
And I wanted to stay (stay)
Tangled up with you among the fireflies
On that Fourth of July

(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ee-aye aye-aye)

Thunder clouds (thunder clouds)
Hung-around (hung-around)
So threateningly (so threateningly)
Ominously hovering
The sky opened-wide, showering
(Oh, oh, yeah-eh yeah-eh)

Then you put your hand in mine (you put your hand in mine)
And we ran from the rain (from the pouring rain, baby)
Tentatively kissed-goodnight (tentatively kissed-goodnight)
And went our separate ways (way, yeah)
And I've never truly felt the way that Ifelt that Fourth of July (Fourth of July)
Truly I have never felt the same as I, like that Fourth of July (Fourth of July)
Truly I could never feel the same as I felt that Fourth of July
