Love is a rebel, and that's what your family thought of me
The summer I met you, but that didn't stop us from anything
Everyone was celebrating an independence, we were trying to get ours
Later in the heat of the night we found it, underneath the stars
Where the fireworks lighten up the summertime sky
Your sundress blowing like a flag raised high
Your red and white blanket and the blue in your eyes
And the freedom, of love like July
Love is a fighter, and we knew that we were worth fighting for
So we started a fire, brighter than anybody seen before
Everyone was trying to stop me and you, but we had already lit the fuse
Where the fireworks lighten up the summertime sky
Your sundress blowing like a flag raised high
Your red and white blanket and the blue in your eyes
And the freedom, of love like July
Of love like July
Love is a memory
A moment in time that you don't want to lose
And baby it grieves me
Every time I look at you
I see fireworks lighten up the summertime sky
Your sundress blowing like a flag raised high
Your red and white blanket and the blue in your eyes
And the freedom, of love like July
Of love like July
Of love like July
Of love like July
