Could this be the one?

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.]

Or this one?

(Where this is called a "YMCA Campfire song.")

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...

I like the song with the same title by Los Lobos... completely unrelated in theme, but a fine song, nonetheless.
