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   I was trembling inside   But I wanted to stay, 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 trough 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   Hung around   So threateningly   Ominously hovering   And the sky   Opened wide   Showering      Then you put 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 of July      Truly I have never felt the same inside   Like that fourth of july   Truly I could never feel the same as I   Felt that fourth of July
