JAMES TAYLOR - On The Fourth Of July lyrics

rate me

Shall I tell it again how we started as friends<br>Who would run into one another now and again<br>At the yippee cai o or the mesa dupree<br>Or a dozen different everyday places to be<br><br>I was loping along living alone<br>We were ever so brave on the telephone<br>Would you care to come down for fireworks time<br>We could each just reach<br>We step out of line<br><br>And the smell of the smoke and the lay of the land<br>And the feeling of finding one's heart in one's hand<br>And the tiny tin voice of the radio band singing<br>Love must stand<br>Love forever and ever must stand<br><br>Unbelievable you, impossible me<br>The fool who fell out of the family tree<br>The fellow that found the philosopher's stone<br>Deep underground like a dinosaur bone<br><br>Who fell into you at a quarter to two<br>With a tear in your eye for the fourth of july<br>For the patriots and the minutemen<br>And the things you believe they believed in then<br><br>Such as freedom, and freedom's land<br>And the kingdom of God and the rights of man<br>With the tiny tin voice of the radio band<br>Singing love must stand<br>Love forever and ever must stand<br>And forever must stand<br><br>Oh the smell of the smoke as we lay on the land<br>And the feeling of finding my heart in my hand<br>With the tiny tin voice of the radio band<br>Singing love must stand<br>Love forever and ever must stand<br><br>All on the fourth of july<br>On the fourth of july
