Fireworks

Out past the meadow on the hill up high Two young lovers on the fourth of July Blanket spread out on top of the ground Watching the town folk gather around Kids run around with sparklers ablaze The high school marching band plays. The smell of cotton candy fills the air. The excitement is growing at the county fair. Out of the way up high on that hill Was two young lovers one named Jack, one Jill The crowd is buzzing as the sun goes low Waiting for the mighty fireworks show Jack looks at Jill with love in his eyes In anticipation of the show in the skies Jill puts her head upon Jack's soft lap Gazing and wanting the night to unwrap The first firework streams into the air, As a glittering tail follows it there. A crackle and a boom it erupts in the sky Watching with awe as the following fireworks fly. Jack says to Jill, Oh how I love you so You give me fireworks dontcha know Jill smiles sweetly and gives him a kiss This firework show she doesn't want to miss
