Judith Owen - Emily текст песни

Emily by Judith Owen

Emily's a girl I knew in my school

Emily she took such good care of me

I used to tell myself....

"one day soon that's the way I'd like to be"



Emily had seen the things that I'd seen

Emily had know the wrongs that I'd known

I used to tell myself....

"one day soon that's the way I'd like to be"



She told me..

"everybody's frightened

everyone's a little scared of life.

You can watch it from the side lines

a face in the crowd

but if you're not very very careful

It'll just pass you by..."



And Emily does what Emily can

One day she saw the light

and Emily ran straight for the door

she said..

"That's what it's for...

we only do the best we can."


And Emily ran



Some of us we stay to make the wrongs right.

Some of us we throw away our own lives

But you know I'd rather

I'd rather be like Emily



Used to be afraid to leave my own house

Used to be afraid to live my own life.

But you know I'd rather

I'd rather be like Emily



She told me..

"everybody's frightened

everyone's a little scared of life.

You can watch it from the side lines

a face in the crowd

pass you by..."



And Emily does what Emily can

One day she saw the light

and Emily ran straight for the door

she said..

"That's what it's for...

we only do the best we can."

And Emily ran
