F - Emily Lyrics

Emily's going out tonight
with a candle in her pocket and
a lighter in her right hand.
Does anybody know
why she's gonna go?
She's nearly out of sight.
Emily's out tonight.

So familiar,
how ladylike the old girl comes along.
She's ninety something,
dressed up and wide awake.
A little slow, but going strong.
She's paid off the overdraft
for the TV she has bought in 84.
She's been paying all her lifetime,
but now she's gonna pay no more.

Deep religious,
she went to mass on every Sunday morning.
She's believing
in God but she don't like
the priest (he's new in town – and very boring).
She's listened to his sermon well
though she's heard the same one hundred times before.
She's heard them all her lifetime,
but now she's gonna listen anymore.

She's gonna do it today, she's going make it today
she's gonna do it, gonna do it, gonna do it.

Emily's going out tonight
with a candle in her pocket and
a lighter in her right hand.
Does anybody know
why she's gonna go away?
She's gonna make it today.

She's very friendly,
an open minded and always understanding.
Bad behavior
she doesn't like at all.
She's very modest, she's never been demanding.
She's always followed every rule,
though she didn't even know what they've been for.
She has followed all her lifetime,
but now she's gonna follow anymore.

She's gonna do it today, she's gonna make it today
she's gonna do it, gonna do it, gonna do it right now.
She's going make the world go round (and round and round...)
she's gonna make it today...
She's gonna do it, gonna do it, gonna do it.

Emily's going out tonight
with a candle in her pocket and
a lighter in her right hand.
Does anybody know
why she's gonna go away?

Emily's going out tonight
with a candle in her pocket and
a lighter in her right hand.
Does anybody know,
where she's gonna go today?
She's gonna go away, she's gonna go today.

Emily's going out tonight
with a candle in her pocket and
a lighter in her right hand.
Does anybody know
where she's gonna go?
Se's nearly out of sight.
Emily's out tonight...

F - Emily Lyrics

Writer(s): Johnny Mercer - Johnny Mandel


Emily, Emily, Emily
Has the murmuring sound of May
All silver bells, coral shells, carousels
And the laughter of children at play

Say Emily, Emily, Emily
And we fade to a marvelous view
Two lovers alone and out of sight
Seeing images in the firelight
As my eyes visualize a family
They see Emily, Emily



(And we fade to a marvelous view)
Two lovers alone and out of sight
Seeing images in the firelight
As my eyes visualize a family
They see Emily, Emily
Too

F - Emily Lyrics

Smiles and her laughter
It's the only thing that I've been waiting for
A time, regardless of our distance
And our hope, grows greater
Trapped by pretty eyes and laughter for, a time
The only thing that I've been waiting for

I hope it's something worth the waiting
Cause its the only thought that I ever feel real
Thunder storms could never stop me
Cause there's no-one in the world like Emily

She's simple yet confusing
Her sparkling eyes make me weak at my words, they tremble
Days seem like years in this month of December
The winter, **coldens** me for I have yet to sleep
And never will I give up trying cause you're everything to me

I hope its something worth the waiting
It’s the only thought that I ever feel real
Cause thunder storms could never stop me
Cause there's no-one in the world like Emily

There's no one in the world like Emily

F - Emily Lyrics

Emily shrugs and drags her heels as she takes the guided tour
It seemed like such an amazing deal
when she was looking at the brochure

Stuck on a bus with strangers
wishing she could be ay home
with me Poor little Emily
how does it feel to be free?

Lyin' in bed
the pain in my head
from running around all day
Tryin' to find what was rightfully mine
but I ran out of things to say

Runnin' around with strangers
wishing she could run away with me..
Poor little Emily,
how does it feel to be free

from familiar fingertips
to a persecuted grip?
from the pan into the fire
now a thread becomes a wire
under which you must crawl
through a ditch and over the wall

Emily works her fingers
right down to her aching bones
while my aching head's got me stuck
in bed working on being alone

Working around the clock
wishing she had worked it out with me
Poor little Emily
how does it feel to be free?
Poor little Emily
how does it feel to be free?
Poor little Emily
how does it feel to be free?

F - Emily Lyrics


Gotta learn how to think
Cause I'm drowning in sin
Just wanna taste that cinnamon skin
I've gotta learn how to cry
Taste the tear roll by
Cause there's no sense in self destruction

Emily loved him
Emily loved him

You cut away the disease
You pure the air that I breathe
You came and healed my disease again
Now the light comes shining in

I've gotta learn how to drink
Without the alcohol swings
I'm sure that things will feel better
Gotta learn how to grow
Lift the world off your toes
Feel yourself drift off to somewhere

Emily loved him
Emily loved him

You cut away the disease
You pure the air that I need
You came and healed my disease

What's gonna happen if it all falls in
And the highs get low and the pain sits inside me

Emily loved him
Cause Emily loved him

You cut away the disease
You pure the air that I breathe
You came and healed my disease again
Now the lights come shining in

You cut away the disease
You pure the air that I need
You came and healed my disease again
