05 Fourth Of July
Mariah Carey Lyrics

Trembling
Feeling nervous or scared

Starry eyed
Feeling dreamy and romantic

As you put your hand in mine
Feeling a connection and intimacy with someone else

It was twilight
The moment between day and night

On the Fourth of July
A day of celebration and fireworks in America

Sparkling colors were
Vivid fireworks that lit up the sky

Strewn across the sky
Showered and scattered across the sky

And we sat close enough
Being near someone, but not too close

That we just barely touched
Feeling a light touch, almost like a faint electric shock

While roman candles
A type of firework that shoots into the sky and explodes

Went soaring above us and baby
The fireworks were beautiful and awe-inspiring

Then you put your hand in mine
Feeling the warmth of someone else's hand

And we wandered away
Moving together and being lost in the moment

I was trembling inside
Feeling nervous and excited at the same time

But I wanted to stay
The moment was so perfect that the person wished it would never end

Pressed against you there and leave the world behind
Feeling so close to someone that nothing else in the world mattered

So starry eyed (so starry eyed)
Feeling so in love and infatuated that the person was lost in a dreamy state

On the flowery hillside
Being outside in nature, surrounded by flowers and scenery

Breathless and fervid
Feeling out of breath, with a deep passion for someone

Amid the dandelions
Being surrounded by a field of dandelions

As it swept over me
Feeling overwhelmed by emotion

Like the wind trough the trees
The feeling was as strong and powerful as the wind through the trees

I felt you sigh with a
Feeling the other person's emotions and physical sensations

Sweet intensity and baby
There was a deep level of affection between the two people

And we floated away
Feeling like the two of them were in a different world, almost weightless

Delicately lay entwined
Wrapped around each other in a gentle and loving way

In an intimate daze
Feeling so close to someone that they were in a trance-like state

A crescent moon began to shine (began to shine)
A symbol of romance and beauty in the night sky

And I wanted to stay (stay)
Not wanting the moment to ever end

Tangled up with you among the fireflies
Feeling like they were tangled up in love, surrounded by the magical sight of fireflies

Thunder clouds (thunder clouds)
Dark and ominous clouds in the sky

Hung around (hung around)
The clouds were there, looming and waiting

So threateningly (so threateningly)
Feeling like the storm was approaching fast and strong

Ominously hovering
The storm clouds were threatening and ominous, hovering over everything

And the sky (the sky)
The atmosphere was about to change

Opened wide (opened wide)
The intense storm was here

Showering (oh yeah yeah)
Pouring rain that was refreshing to the senses

And we ran from the rain (in the pouring rain, baby)
Running from the rain, but still feeling the connection between the two people

Tentatively kissed goodnight (tentatively kissed goodnight)
A gentle kiss, knowing that they had to part ways

And went our separate ways (ways)
Knowing that they had to leave each other for now

And I've never truly felt the way that I
Feeling like that moment was one of a kind and that nothing will compare to it

Felt the Fourth of July (Fourth of July, Fourth of July)
It was a feeling of magic and beauty, unique to that special day

Truly I have never felt the same inside
Feeling like the moment was so intense that the person was changed forever

Like that Fourth of July (Fourth of July, Fourth of July)
The Fourth of July was a day of deep emotions and wonder

Truly I could never feel the same as I
The memory of that moment will always be special

Felt that Fourth of July (Fourth of July), oh baby
That special day will always be remembered with love and longing
