Amy MacDonald has said “4th of July” is based upon her memories of being in New York City during an Independence Day celebration and her goal was to ‘write an upbeat song to celebrate’ the city. It was released as the third single from her third album.
[Verse 1]
Well the first day of spring, well it came and gone
And the summer did too, but winter's so long
And my heart still sings, sings for you
When I dream of the one summer night I spent with you
[Chorus]
And it still goes on like the 4th of July
And my heart still beats like you're by my side
And I dream of the day when you'll be mine
And I'll fly sky high on the 4th of July
[Verse 2]
Well the first day of spring, well it came and gone
And the summer did too, but winter's so long
And my heart still sings, sings for you
When I dream of the one summer night I spent with you
[Verse 3]
And then the rain came down and the sheets of grey

And it still goes on like the 4th of July
And my heart still beats like you're by my side
And I dream of the day when you'll be mine
And I'll fly sky high on the 4th of July
[Bridge]
And the fireworks still pop in my head
The flag still flies overhead
And the banners still blows, still blow in the wind
The crowds still cheer, the crowds still sing
[Chorus]
And it still goes on like the 4th of July
And my heart still beats like you're by my side
And I dream of the day when you'll be mine
And I'll fly sky high
[Outro]
And it still goes on like the 4th of July
And my heart still beats like you're by my side
And I dream of the day when you'll be mine
And I'll fly sky high, happy 4th of July
