Fourth of July Wish

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Second grade, a schoolyard sun, Before I knew what love had done, We ran like kin, like sister, brother, Never guessing we'd find each other. The years rolled on, we drifted wide, But something stayed alive inside. [Chorus] And every summer sky would burn, Fourth of July, I'd watch and yearn, Hoping fireworks would bring you near, A quiet wish year after year. If I had to choose it all again, I'd pick you, my love, my dearest friend. [Verse 2] Then four years back you walked my way, Said you were free, my heart gave way, It skipped a beat, it knew your name, And nothing after felt the same. You courted me so soft and slow, Asked me to stay, and I said so. [Chorus] And every summer sky would burn, Fourth of July, I'd watch and yearn, Hoping fireworks would bring you near, A quiet wish year after year. If I had to choose it all again, I'd pick you, my love, my dearest friend. [Bridge] We hit a bump, a mountain tall, But hand in hand we cleared it all, Forgiveness gave us open doors, And courage made my heart all yours. [Verse 3] Now near two years of vows we've kept, Through every laugh and tear we've wept, Oh Dave, you're home, you're heart, you're mine, My roommate, lover, soul divine. My best friend when the day is done, Dave, in this life you're the only one. [Chorus] And every summer sky will burn, Fourth of July, and still I'll yearn, But now you're always standing near, No more wishing, you're right here. If I had to choose it all again, I'd pick you, Dave, till the very end. [Outro] With all my soul I'll hold you true, Forever, love, I'm choosing you.
