We Looked To the Sky To See the Rockets Red Glare

I went to Narragansett to watch the show
With family and friends and people gathered I didn’t know
Great food drinks and plenty of song
A perfect day nothing went wrong

The fun we had you cannot compare
We looked to the sky to see the rockets red glare

The smell of the salt water brought a smile to my face
The warmth of goodwill made me feel right at home in that place
We socialized all day and into the twilight
Went to Kelly beach and watched the fire works light up the night

The fun we had you cannot compare
We looked to the sky to see the rockets red glare

A great time to all those who were there
We shall never forget this star-studded affair
The fresh ocean atmosphere made us sleep in
We partied well and the memory of it will always make us grin

The fun we had you cannot compare
We looked to the sky to see the rockets red glare
