EMILY
(Words, Johnny Mercer. Music, 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 dreamily, Emily

Two lovers alone and out of sight
Seeing images in the firelight
As my eyes visualize a family
They see dreamily, Emily

[From the film "The Americanization of Emily", 1964. Sung by Frank Sinatra.]
