[verse]
Hanging out with my cousin one summer day
We saw her and her sister across the way
I knew at that point, she’d be all mine
We ended up meeting during a celebration time
[chorus]
It was the 4th of July
It was the look in her eye
It was the 4th of July
It was the look in her eye
[verse]
From the moment I had looked into her eyes
I had finally found the most beautiful prize
We exchanged names and big smiles
Her last name happened to be Miles
We hung out, playing together all afternoon
Until night when we had shared the moon
Hoping this would last forever and ever
Her being cute, while me being clever
[chorus]
It was the 4th of July
It was the look in her eye
It was the 4th of July
It was the look in her eye
[verse]
Now time has passed over the years
I think of her and shed some tears
What made me say such hurtful things
Remembering back definitely still stings
I never found anyone quite like Mary
In my heart, this pain I still carry
I hope one day she can hear this song
And realize that I admit I’m wrong
[chorus]
It was the 4th of July
It was the look in her eye
It was the 4th of July
It was the look in her eye
It was the 4th of July
It was the look in her eye
It was the 4th of July
It was the look in her eye
[verse]
And so I end with this very final thought
One that I pushed away and faught
M E A M, I have always loved you so
I truly believe that you should know
[chorus]
It was the 4th of July (I miss you)
It was the look in her eye (I miss us)
It was the 4th of July (I miss you)
It was the look in her eye (I miss us)
[verse]
….. I will always….. love you
…… always and forever
……… I miss you
