Sweet Emily

Sweet Emily - Leon Russell

There's a lady I know

And I'm lucky to say

She's a woman in every way

'Cause she weeps just like a willow

When the hate is cloudin' up my day

When she touches my eyes

She takes my heart in her hand

If you knew that child you'd plainly see

When she laughs I realize

I'm in love with my sweet Emily

Well she knows how too boogie

Like a honky tonk queen

But she tells me what is jive and what is real

She's a dancin' delight

And she makes me feel good

If I need forgiven Lord I know she would

There's just one in this world

And it's a natural fact

She can put me right back

On the right track

She made me company

I know I'm talkin'

About my sweet Emily

Oh dem

I can't give a reason for the way that I feel

But love can always tell you where your heart is

There's no way to explain

With the whole world in change

But I know that girl will always remain the same

What more can I say

No words can describe

This feelin' that I have inside

But if you look in my eyes

You'll know I love my

Sweet Emily

But if you look in my eyes

You'll know I love my

Sweet Emily

Take a time

But if you look in my eyes

You'll know I love my

Sweet Emily
