Lyrics

Miss 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.

Day after day, I heard your voice,

In the silence, burning me up,

Burning me up,

Emily

I worship you

You are in my dreams.

You don't know me, or my face,

But I like to work around your place

I'll be your handyman,

I'll be your handyman,

Until the sun goes down.

I'm working hard

Till my debt's been paid,

Till my debt's been paid.

Day after day, Miss Emily,

I think of you, so fine,

So fine.

You don't know me, or my face,

But I like to work around your place

Miss Emily,

Will you take me on?

I'll work real hard

Until the sun goes down.

I'll be your handyman,

Until the sun goes down,

I'll be your handyman.

You don't know me, or my face,

But I like to work around your place

Miss Emily,

I'll work real hard

Miss Emily, Until the sun goes down.
