Emily

Back on my own again, married so long and then over
New independence and freedom would be better for me
But with the time I desired, I found each day weighed more heavily
One word did lift them, the one word to lift them was Emily

Purely by odd chance I met an acquaintance while walking
We got to talking recalling some past people we knew
But from the names that I heard, there was just one that I listened to
I hadn't known that she too was alone that was Emily

Say, this is for real or am I dreaming
Oh pinch me then I can be sure that, you will be with me evermore so
Is it true,
Yes, it's really true
I shall be always with Emily

So young when we fell in love, just fun to fall in love
Nothing was serious, and nothing would last
Much later I saw, that there should have been more
But the time had passed
So for Emily and me
It seemed it never could be

I couldn't wait and although it was late when I called you
You said come round and we talked till the night turned into day
But of the words that you said, these are the best in my memory
Hearing you say that you'd like me to stay with you Emily

Say, this is for real or am I dreaming
Oh pinch me then I can be sure that, you will be with me evermore so
Is it true,
Yes, it's really true
I shall be always with Emily
Always with Emily
Always with Emily
