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
