Fourth Of July

This fourth of July

No fireworks or moonlight

No girl to hold or pen to write

Tonight I sigh alone goodnight.

I wish that I could whisper in your ear

All the reasons why. I need you here

An eternity you told me not to fear

All the reasons why you cant be here

So much for tonight

I lie awake with closed eyes

One restless sleep, just kill some time

Tonight I sigh

This fourth of July

I wont be looking in your eyes

No hand to hold or lip to bite

Tonight I sigh alone goodnight

I wish that I could whisper in your ear

All the reasons why. I need you here

An eternity you told me not to fear

All the reasons why you cant be here

I won’t say goodbye cause this cant be the last time

One restless sleep to kill some time

Tonight I sigh alone goodnight

So I say no

I won’t let you go

No not like this

I’d never know what I had missed
