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
