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
