Emily, Emily, Emily
Has the murmuring sound of May
All silver bells, coral shells,
carousels
And the laughter of children at
play
They 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 dreamily, Emily
<instrumental break>
Two lovers alone and out of
sight
Seeing images in the firelight
As my eyes visualize a family
They see dreamily, Emily
