Sweet Emily
Ooh, lord
Yeah, this is it
It was dang so good on that, would sing our song now
There's a lady I know, and I'm lucky to say
She's a woman in every way
Whoa, she weeps just like a willow
When the hate is cloudin' up my day, yes it does
Now when she touches my eyes
Take my heart in her hand
If you knew that child, you'd plainly see, whoa!
When I laugh, I would realize
I'm in love with my sweet Emily
Alright
Well she knows how to boogie
Like a honky-tonk queen
But she tells me what is jive and what is real
She's a dancin' delight, and she makes me feel good
If I need forgiven lord I know she would
Just one in the world
It's a natural fact
She can put me right back
On the right track, ooh
She keeps me company
I'm in love with my sweet Emily
Yeah, I can't give a reason for the way that I feel
But love can always tell you where your heart is
There's no way to explain
With the whole world in change
Yet I know that child will always remain the same, oh
What more can I say?
What more can I do?
If you're looking me, you looking right through
I laugh I realise
I'm in love with my sweet Emily
Oh, once you look in my eyes
And, you'll know I love my sweet Emily
Yeah
Yeah
But won't you look in my eyes
Then you would know I love with my sweet Emily, yeah
Yeah
Yeah, this is it
It was dang so good on that, would sing our song now
There's a lady I know, and I'm lucky to say
She's a woman in every way
Whoa, she weeps just like a willow
When the hate is cloudin' up my day, yes it does
Now when she touches my eyes
Take my heart in her hand
If you knew that child, you'd plainly see, whoa!
When I laugh, I would realize
I'm in love with my sweet Emily
Alright
Well she knows how to boogie
Like a honky-tonk queen
But she tells me what is jive and what is real
She's a dancin' delight, and she makes me feel good
If I need forgiven lord I know she would
Just one in the world
It's a natural fact
She can put me right back
On the right track, ooh
She keeps me company
I'm in love with my sweet Emily
Yeah, I can't give a reason for the way that I feel
But love can always tell you where your heart is

Yeah

But won't you look in my eyes
Then you would know I love with my sweet Emily, yeah
Yeah
