16 Dec 02 - 10:42 AM (#848159) Subject: Lyr Req: Emma by J. Edwards From: Merritt Hi Folk-Folks, Found pieces of these lyrics lying around on dusty shelves in my tired, middle-aged brain; but I can't quite put it all together. It's from Jonathan Edwards' self-titled 1971(?) release. Chords are pretty straight-forward. Here's what I have so far: EMMA The first time I saw Emma She ?____? above me in a dream (?) Da, da, da, da, da-da-da (?) And off we flew it seemed Like an airplane Moving up and down Through the country town Passing over the city so slow, slowly Emma comes to see me About eight o'clock each night And she throws her arms around me And off we go in flight Like an airplane Moving up and down Through the country town Passing over the city so slow, slowly BRIDGE: But Emma's made, Emma's made for night And I can't wait My dinner's served by half past eight And I can't wait, can't wait for night The last time I saw Emma She made me love her till I died And we ?____? ?_____? fields ?_______? Searching open sky For an airplane Moving up and down Through the country town Passing over the city so slow, slowly BRIDGE/END ******* - Merritt |
