The Star Spangled Banner Lyrics
O 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
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave
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
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave

Such a difficult song to sing (supposedly the most difficult due to its waltz tempo), but nobody has ever sung it more beautifullly. The superbowl will be remembered not only because it was the first day of the first Gulf War, but because Whitney's rendition was amazing. A special and beautiful tribute to her country and countrymen...
