Washington's Day Lyrics - Hooters

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 

I hope and I pray that you'll be here with me 

When the mountains that rise tumble into the sea 

And the kingdoms that come set us free on our way 

Hope you'll be here with me home on Washington's day 

Now when this world and that world collide 

And the powers that be hit you low 

When you're feeling so small in the face of it all 

And you're lost on eternity row 

When the wars that men wage are all through 

And their monuments put on display 

Tell the hungry and stranded the poor empty handed 

We'll meet them on Washington's day 

I hope and I pray that you'll be here with me 

When the mountains that rise tumble into the sea 

And the kingdoms that come set us free on our way 

Hope you'll be here with me home on Washington's day, yeah 

Did you think I could ever forget 

The night by the Arlington flame 

Where the monuments laugh over thousands of years 

You whispered and called me by name 

When that sun goes down at the end of the day 

You know I'll always remember 

You who were tender to me on Washington's day 

I hope and I pray that you'll be here with me 

When the mountains that rise tumble into the sea 

And the kingdoms that come set us free on our way 

Hope you'll be here with me home on Washington's day, yeah 

Well I hope and I'll pray that you'll be here with me 

When the mountains that rise tumble into the sea 

And the visions that come are the visions that stay 

Hope you'll be here with me home on Washington's day 

Hope you'll be here with me home on Washington's day 

Home on Washington's day
