Emily

January 1, 2018. Adopted Emily. Five days after Barley died.

Emily, Emily, Emily
Has the murmuring sound of May;
All silver bells, coral shells, carousels,
And the laughter of children at play,

They 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, Emily.

(instrumental break)

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