Carey, Mariah - Fourth Of July Lyrics






Trembling
Starry eyed
As you put your hand in mine...

It was twilight
On the Fourth of July
Sparkling colors were
Strewn across the sky
And we sat close enough
That we just barely touched
While roman candles
Went soaring above us and baby

Then you put your hand in mine
And we wandered away
I was trembling inside
But I wanted to stay
Pressed against you there and leave the world behind
On that Fourth of July

So starry eyed
On the flowery hillside
Breathless and fervid
Amid the dandelions
As it swept over me
Like the wind through the trees
I felt you sigh with a
Sweet intensity and baby

Then you put your hand in mine
And we floated away
Delicately lay entwined
In an intimate daze
A crescent moon began to shine
And I wanted to stay
Tangled up with you among the fireflies
On that Fourth of July

Thunder clouds
Hung around
So threateningly
Ominously hovering
And the sky
Opened wide
Showering

Then you put your hand in mine
And we ran from the rain
Tentatively kissed goodnight
And went our separate ways
And I've never truly felt the way that I
Felt that Fourth of July

Truly I have never felt the same inside
Like that Fourth of July
Truly I could never feel the same as I
Felt that Fourth of July

Carey, Mariah Fourth Of July Comments
  1. P.... E....

    One of her best songs and albums! I love the Butterfly album! ☮️💓

  2. N.... ....

    My favorite album of hers. I was 17 when this came out. I played it until my tape pop. MC a 🐐

  3. S.... R....

    HER WHISTLES AND RUNS SOUNDS LIKE A KEYBOARD, I CANNOT BREATH, TOTALLY SHOOK

  4. R.... O....

    The first 45 seconds of the song are pure heaven to my ears😍when she started “it was twilight on the Fourth of July” I literally closed my eyes and was transported

  5. L.... M....

    Whimsical and such lovely words❤️It’s like Going into a daze of a Beautiful Daydream ..

  6. R.... B....

    I love her Nov 27 2019

  7. H.... Z....

    I love this album so much. It was such a pivotal moment in her career and life in general. For the first time, she was in control of her music which she dedicated her life to. She declared her ownership of herself, her music, style, and life. You can tell from the songs she wrote in this album, that this album is personal. She opened herself up and touched on her feelings, her desire, fantasy, trauma and bittersweet memories that shaped who she was and is today. The way she used her voices in this album is also drastically different yet amazing. Her voice is so buttery, warm and full of emotions. You can't judge her by vocal skills and abilities. She was (and still is) beyond all those.

  8. S.... M....

    1998 all over again and forthcoming and into infinity.

  9. J.... J....

    I would love to hear Kermit The Frog song this...im sorry yall....🤣🤣🤣

  10. K.... J....

    Still a nice song

  11. W.... L....

    this underrated song makes me cry everytime I listen to it

  12. G.... T....

    What an amazing example of exemplary vocalization in R&B music from a music theory perspective.

  13. M.... N....

    QUEEN MFKN MI-MI SOUNDS SOOOOO BEAUTIFULLL SAAAANGIN THIS SEXY ASS SONG❤️😍🤩 YAAAAAS😍
    SHE CAN HARMONIZE LIKE NO OTHER...DAAAAMN MI-MI💪👑🔥

  14. G.... D....

    0:54 Her voice starts in falsetto and flutters down into her lower register beautifully, like a leaf floating down from a tree. This is my absolute favorite MC vocal run ever!

  15. M.... A....

    You can say whatever you want about her but not that this song is not good

  16. S.... C....

    Peace in me my Angel 😇😇😇

  17. S.... C....

  19. D.... ....

    Why is it so daydreamish? Butterfly is known for her raspy type voice

  20. A.... S....

    Her artistry is truly underrated

  21. J.... M....

    July 4 2019 😎😉

  22. A.... H....

    True story : This song was written by Mariah to her ex boyfriend Eddie Griffin (the comedian) . Unlike Taylor Swift , she can make a song about a guy and it still be catchy until today.

  23. A.... H....

    She just does double, triple, and quadruple scalpings. All them layers, that pitch, that tone, that key, that whistle, vibrato... She is a literal Siren that can hypnotize anyone vocally.

  24. F.... &....

    Who Listened to this song on the 4th of July this year... 2019? Like and give a 🖐🏽🎆

  25. P.... B....

    I've loved this song since the seventh grade, but Solange and Kelela's beach trip from three months ago brought me back here.

  27. B.... B....

    Who knew Mariah could be so patriotic ?

  28. B.... O....

    My favorite holiday! Love it because it’s all about freedom! Summertime, doesn’t cost lots of money and sooooooo laidback! No heavy coats or boots and if you choose to , just enjoy the water or beach. ♥️

    Salt of the earth #israelite

  55. J.... S....

    4th of July 2019 😋

  56. A.... ....

    Happy 4th of July, 2019!

  57. J.... K....

    How maticullous and beautifully decorated. Some of her greatest vocals lay humble in the background, no matter many times I hear it certain songs (ie. Can't let go or The Roof) I hear something new, and that's what I think an artists is: Someone who can convey the same words or feeling, in a way no one else has or can.

    J.... K....

    YES!!! And Cant Let Go made me a lamb!

  58. C.... L....

    This 4th will be different since my ex and I split last year. It was good last year and I still have great memories. Still gonna enjoy myself. 😊 Happy 4th y'all. 😎

  59. A.... J....

    Whose here on July 4th 2019??

    A.... J....

    Me 💥🌟✨💝🔥🔥

  60. W.... H....

    I had fond memories with a woman I cared about many years ago. This song reminds me of her.

  61. C.... P....

    It's the time of the year.

  62. J.... K....

    There's something magical in this song!

  63. P.... X....

    Chills.....Goose bumps everywhere, Why am I surprised. Only her. Never fails!

  64. M.... D....

    I can't tell whether it's a human being's or an angel's to this song!!!

  65. 9.... ....

    Mariah and Walter Afanasieff were such a force to be reckoned with together. Most artists or singers could WISH to create an album this magical in like 5-10 years, they made this album in a year!(recorded in 7 months!) this song(all of them really) sounds like it took that to record lol

    9.... ....

    Walter was only on a few on this album, most of the songs didn't involve Walter.

  66. M.... M....

    Mariah Carey is so so so underestimated and underrated !

  67. R.... L....

    ... I finally met you, on the 4th of July?

    R.... L....

    My heart....

  68. R.... D....

    💓💓💓💓💓💓

  69. j.... ....

    I swear the bass work in this song is to live for. It makes me do an internal sexy dance.

  70. M.... J....

    Great song! Love the beat that is a bit cute! I will put this in my favorite music playlist. 👍

  71. T.... G....

    The most romantic song ever.

  72. M.... N....

    This song makes me think about a perfect 4th of July. She knows who she is. Lol!!!

  73. M.... K....

    Fourth of July = Underneath the Stars Tokyo Dome version >>>>>>> Underneath the Stars

  74. M.... W....

    I’m gonna say it: this is her best song ever. This probably the most beautiful love song ever. FIGHT ME

    M.... W....

    🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

  75. N.... ....

    👌👍💁 good album

  76. M.... D....

    2019 yet listening to it feels like 90s...sublime

  77. R.... T....

    How can you dislike this beautiful song??

    R.... T....

    Tasteless locals

    R.... T....

  92. C.... S....

  93. R.... N....

    I literally cry every time I hear this

  94. L.... K....

    Delicately lay entwined,
    In an intimate daze....
    Crescent moonlight begins to shine,
    and I wanted to stay....
