lyrics

Since time immemorial
Lovers corporeal
Gave gifts of jewellery
Costly tomfoolery;
Poets of modest means
Few dollars in their jeans
Show their avidity
With cre-
a-
tivity—

Emily
What if I wrote a song or two
Just for you
Emily
What would I call it? Now let me see—
“Emily”!

Emily
I’ll write some verses
Start the same
With your name
Emily
I’ll only use the best words that rhyme
Every time.

When
I add a chorus
We will sing
Make it swing
Then
Folks will implore us
“Sing some more!
Bravo! Encore!”

Emily
Into the sunset
We will ride
Side by side
Emily
Singing a song that’s for
You by me
“Emily.”
