Emily · letra

I will not forget my sister's face the day that she died Such a frail little girl I remember how I cried When she reached out to squeeze my hand I know her time had come and when her fingers slipped from mine I knew that it was done
Oh sweet Emily you're going Home Sweet Emily and I can't go
Looking back upon our younger days When we'd go out to play She was weaker than the rest of us So we'd laugh and run away
But sometimes I'd lie awake at night And wonder what was wrong Oh I had the feeling even then That her days would not be long
Oh sweet Emily you're going Home Sweet Emily and I can't go
Sometimes I almost hear her calling me But Heaven seems so far away
I will not forget my sister's face The strange way that she smiled Like the times she'd gaze up at the sky when she was just a child
And I can still hear the echo Of the last thing she could say This life is but a moment In the morning of my day
Oh sweet Emily you're going Home Sweet Emily and I can't go
Sweet Emily you're going Home Sweet Emily and I can't go
