[Intro:]
Trembling
Starry-eyed
As you put your hand in mine
[Verse 1:]
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
[Chorus 1:]
Then you put your hand in mine
And we wandered away (yeah)
I was trembling inside
But I wanted to stay (stay)
Pressed against you there and leave the world behind
On that Fourth of July (Fourth of July)
[Verse 2:]
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
[Chorus 2:]
Then you put your hand in mine (your hand in mine)
And we floated away (floated away away)
Delicately lay entwined
In an intimate daze (in an intimate daze)
A crescent moon began to shine (a crescent moon began to shine)
And I wanted to stay (stay)
Tangled up with you among the fireflies
On that Fourth of July (Fourth of July)
[Bridge:]
Thunder clouds (thunder clouds)
Hung around (hung around)
So threateningly (so threateningly)
Ominously hovering
And the sky (the sky)
Opened wide (opened wide)
Showering (oh yeah)
[Chorus 3:]
Then you put your hand in mine (put your hand in mine)
And we ran from the rain (in the pouring rain baby)
Tentatively kissed goodnight (tentatively kissed goodnight)
And went our separate ways (ways)
And I've never truly felt the way that I
Felt that Fourth of July (Fourth of July)
Truly I have never felt the same inside
Like that Fourth of July (Fourth of July) Fourth of July
Truly I could never feel the same as I
Felt that Fourth of July (Fourth of July oh baby)
