Lyrics
For Emily
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What’s that one word?
What’s that one verse?
Or is it a song I heard
Maybe like crimson and clover
Now I’m gonna reach out
And I want you to reach out
I’m gonna call out
And I want you to call out
Ah, now I know what I’m thinking of
It’s that one word we never said it’s
That morning star
Always catches me off guard
And it hits me just how far you are
Sweet Emily I never meant to miss you as much as I do
I pull up to the gate
I take the lock away
I push open the gate
And drive down the driveway
As the skies dark
I think of you
As the skies dark
I think of you
As the skies clear
I think of you
As the skies clear
I think of you
As the skies blue
I think of you
As the skies blue
I think of you
That morning star
Always catches me off guard
And it hits me just how far you are
Sweet Emily I never meant to miss you as much as I do
You know what word I’m thinking of
It’s that one we never said it’s
