Emily Lyrics

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
