Hooters - Washington's Day lyrics

rate me

Did you think I could ever forget <br />

The night by the arlington flame <br />

In the silence I heard it <br />

Through streets so deserted <br />

You whispered and called me by name <br />

<br />

Did you think I could ever forget <br />

That powerful look in your eye <br />

Where Lincoln stood strong there <br />

You held me so long there that night <br />

On the fourth of July <br />

<br />

I hope and I pray that you'll be here with me <br />

When the mountains that rise tumble into the sea <br />

And the kingdoms that come set us free on our way <br />

Hope you'll be here with me <br />

Home on Washington's day <br />

<br />

Now when this world and that world collide <br />

And the powers that be hit you low <br />

When you're feeling so small in the face of it all <br />

And you're lost on eternity row <br />

<br />

When the wars that men wage are all through <br />

And their monuments put on display <br />

Tell the hungry and stranded <br />

The poor empty handed <br />

We'll meet them on Washington's day <br />

<br />

I hope and I pray that you'll be here with me <br />

When the mountains that rise tumble into the sea <br />

And the kingdoms that come set us free on our way <br />

Hope you'll be here with me <br />

Home on Washington's day <br />

<br />

Did you think I could ever forget <br />

The night by the arlington flame <br />

Where the monuments laugh over thousands of years <br />

You whispered and called me by name <br />

<br />

And when the sun goes down <br />

At the end of the day <br />

You know I'll always remember <br />

You who were tender to me <br />

On Washington's day <br />

<br />

I hope and I pray that you'll be here with me <br />

When the mountains that rise tumble into the sea <br />

And the visions that come are the visions that stay <br />

Hope you'll be here with me <br />

Home on Washington's day
