Trembling Starry eyed As you put your hand in mine...
It was twilight On the Fourth of July Sparkling were Strewn across the sky And we sat close enough That we just barely touched While roman candles Went soaring above and baby
Chorus
Then you put your hand in mine And we wandered away I was 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 it swept me Like the wind through the trees I felt you sigh with a Sweet intensity and baby
Chorus
Then you put your hand in mine And we away Delicately lay entwined In an intimate daze A crescent moon began to shine And I wanted to stay up with you among the fireflies On that Fourth of July
Bridge
Thunder clouds Hung around So threateningly Ominously hovering And the sky Opened wide Showering
Chorus Then you your hand in mine And we ran from the rain Tentatively kissed goodnight And went our separate ways And I've never truly felt the way that I Felt the Fourth July
Outro
Truly I never felt the same inside Like that Fourth of July Truly I could never feel the same as I Felt that Fourth of July
