The 4th of July…
“Did you think I could ever forget
The night by the Arlington Flame?
In the silence I heard it
Through streets so deserted
You whispered and called me by name.
Did you think I could ever forget
That powerful look in your eye?
Where Lincoln stood strong there
You held me so long there that night
On the fourth of July.”
