Sweet Emily

All right
There's a lady I know
And I'm lucky to say
She's a woman in everyway
'Cause she weeps just like a widow
When her hate is clouding up my day
When she touches my eyes
She takes my heart in here hand
If you'd knew that child you'd plainly see
When she laughs I realize
I'm in love with my sweet Emily
Woo, she knows how to boogie
Like a honky tonk queen
But she tell me what is down and real
She's a dancin' delight
And to make me feel good
If I need forgiven, lord I'd know she would
Just one in the world
And it's a natural thing
She can put right back on the right track
Oh, she can leave me on my knee
You know ' I'm talkin' 'bout my sweet Emily
Oh now, you can't guess the reason
For the way that I've been
But her love can always tell you were your heart is
No way to explain
With whole world in chains
But know that girl will always remain the same
What more can I say
No words can describe
A feeling I have inside
For if you look in my eyes
You'll know I love my sweet Emily
Yah
If you look in my eyes
You'll know I love my sweet Emily
Take a time
If you look in my eyes
You'll know I love my sweet Emily
