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
