Today, for me, is a day of celebration
And a day to contemplate liberty
A day to push away all sadness
A day to recognize that we are free
But the greatest freedom I feel
Doesn't come from the United States
It's the feeling of love that seeing you
Within me creates
So I take this time to thank
The God that allows me to be with you
To see the love you have saved for me
And to see the beautiful things you do
So as the fireworks explode above me
Creating a neon patchwork sky
I tell you that their gleam
Cannot match the beauty of the gleam in your eye
I tell you that our secret talks
Our confessional in the dead of night
Cannot be drown out by bursting bombs
Even at their greatest height
Though children shriek happily in the street
And the barking of dogs break the evening peace
Through the noise and confusion
We find our spirits at ease
I may be patriotic for my country
But there is something I love dearly that is not here
And that need unfulfilled by my homeland
Is the presence of you, my dear
Happy Fourth of July, oh one I love
And though the cliche of it may seem a bore
It is the freedom to see you, my dearest,
That I am most thankful for
And a day to contemplate liberty
A day to push away all sadness
A day to recognize that we are free
But the greatest freedom I feel
Doesn't come from the United States
It's the feeling of love that seeing you
Within me creates
So I take this time to thank
The God that allows me to be with you
To see the love you have saved for me
And to see the beautiful things you do
So as the fireworks explode above me
Creating a neon patchwork sky
I tell you that their gleam
Cannot match the beauty of the gleam in your eye
I tell you that our secret talks
Our confessional in the dead of night
Cannot be drown out by bursting bombs
Even at their greatest height
Though children shriek happily in the street
And the barking of dogs break the evening peace
Through the noise and confusion
We find our spirits at ease
I may be patriotic for my country
But there is something I love dearly that is not here
And that need unfulfilled by my homeland
Is the presence of you, my dear
Happy Fourth of July, oh one I love
And though the cliche of it may seem a bore
It is the freedom to see you, my dearest,
That I am most thankful for
