EMILY
" OH EMILY..YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE........SHE ASKED ME TO WRITE A SONG FOR HER.....SO I DID......I WROTE SOME OF THE SONG PRETTY QUICK AND SHOWED HER..BUT I NEEDED TO ADD MORE LYRICS SO I WORKED ON IT A BIT MORE...I EVENTUALLY RECORDED A DEMO COUNTRY VERSION WHICH I PASSED ONTO ANOTHER SINGER/SONGWRITER........IT SOUNDED NEAT THAT WAY BUT THE VERSION I RECORDED I KEPT JUST ACOUSTIC........THIS SONG EXPLAINS A STRONG PLATONIC RELATIONSHIP....."
........................................................
WHEN WE FIRST MET THAT SUMMER DAY,
WE LAUGHED + SMILED THE NITE AWAY,
YOU TOLD ME ABOUT YOUR BUSY LIFE,
A FULL TIME JOB, A LITTLE CHILD,
THRU PERFECT EYES, A CARING GIRL,
AND IF ASKED, YOU'D GIVE THE WORLD,
SO THIS IS MY TRUE SONG TO YOU,
SOME SPECIAL WORDS, THAT RING SO TRUE,
* OH EMILY,
WELL YOU BRIGHTEN UP MY DAY,
WITH ALL THOSE WORDS YOU SAY,
YOU COMFORT ME,
OH EMILY,
WELL I'M LOST FOR WORDS FOR YOU,
WITH ALL THE THINGS YOU DO,
YOU COMFORT ME,
OH EMILY,
WHEN YOU NEED TO TALK, I'M ALWAYS HERE,
INHIBIT ME WITH ALL THOSE FEARS,
HAPPY BRIGHT OR EVEN SAD,
I'LL BE THE ONE, YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE,
THRU HARD TIMES AND THOSE BREAKING DAYS,
I'LL BE THERE TO SHOW THE WAY,
NEVER LOSE THE FAITH IN ME,
CAUSE ONE OF THESE DAYS, I'LL MAKE YOU SEE,
* CHORUS
OH EMILY,
OH HOW I PRAY THAT IT'S TRUE,
WITH WHATEVER YOU DO,
I'LL ALWAYS BE,
OH EMILY,
THE ONE WHO GIVES ME MY LIGHT,
THRU DAY + THRU NITE,
I'LL ALWAYS BE THERE,
