The Star Spangled Banner - David Healey

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there Oh say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Oh say can you see By the dawn's early light? What so proudly we hailed At the twilight's last gleaming Whose broad stripes and bring stars Through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watching Were so gallantly streaming And the rockets red glare The bombs bursting in air Gave prove through the night That our flag was still there Oh say does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave O'er the land of the free And the home of the brave And still we can see As the years have gone by There's a dream in our land Like a flame that keeps burning And the lantern of hope From the harbor still shines Those who seek freedom's dream To its light are still turning Now we look to the stars And we lift up our eyes For we know with the dawn We will see our Flag rise And this is our spangled Banner yet wave O'er the land of the free And the home of the brave America! My Home! America! (And this is our Star-Spangled Banner unfurled As a light to the free And a hope to the world!)

Oh, say can you see By the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed At the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars Through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched Were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, The bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star-spangled Banner yet wave O'er the land of the free And the home of the brave?

One candle burns brightly, It flickers and it almost dies like me Alone against the wind But this moment has magic, It's keeping that flame alive as we hold on to the night Well, there'll be another day, We'll have another chance but not like this No, nothing can compare to the way that I feel right now Do you feel the same way as I do, then tell me how How strong do you want it to be? How do you want to hear it from me? How long, baby, tell me, how deep? How much love do you want from me? Ooh Somebody must have scared you, Left you wounded and afraid to love again You are just like me But nobody's ever held me so close, so desp'rately, And I never held anybody like you How much love do you want from me? How much love do you want from me? Ooh How much love do you want from me, yeah? How strong do you want it to be? How do you want to hear it from me? How long, baby, tell me, how deep? How much love, do you want from me? Ooh How much love do you want from me? Ooh
