Emily Lyrics

Emily dances with old fashioned ease

With Clairseach, old Irish, and high stepping knees

She laughs through the greyness of sweet, teasing eyes

And turns from reality where fantasy lies

Laughing with Emily is more than a jest

It's sharing the magic of secrets she's kept

As fanciful stories where wonders abide

In shadows of reverie at Emily's side

Deep in my memory

A vision of Emily

Dancing her part on a make-believe stage

Her audience smiles with applause and delight

In what will forever be Emily's night

Moments of beauty and moments of fear

Moments of wondering what spirits are near

Touching the boundaries of here and beyond

A childhood of certainty, soon to be gone

Deep in my memory

A vision of Emily

Romancing her heart on a make-believe stage

Transcending her music through movement and light

In what will forever be Emily's night
