MY SWEET EMILY

Emily, Emily, Emily, Emily, I love you.
Emily, Emily, Emily, Emily, I love you.
Where are you, my sweet Emily?
The night is falling.
Where are you, my sweet Emily?
Your mother's calling,
So come to bed and lay your head upon my shoulder.
What joy I feel! I should be still, but again I told her:
The angels, my sweet Emily, are here beside you,
And heaven, my sweet Emily, will always guide you.
I love you so! You'll never know the joy you're bringing.
This love inside no one could hide,
So again, I'm singing...
