4th of July
Azure Ray Lyrics

We met on that Wednesday night
I was down but you were so bright
I remember that Wednesday night so well
We played guitar all those afternoons
Heard records on the floor of your room
I knew that I would fall in love with you
When you told me my surprise
I looked and asked you
Why did you tell me now
We were sitting in the chair

You whispered in my ear
Let's go home now
I'm thinking of the 4th of July
Holding hands looking up at the sky
I remember the 4th of July so well

I know that you're always with me
I feel the strength you're giving me
I know this love will never die
