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

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
