Leon Russell - Sweet Emily lyrics

rate me

There's a lady I know, and I'm lucky to say, <br />

She's a woman in every way.<br />

Cuz she weeps just like a willow<br />

When the hate is cloudin' up my day<br />

<br />

When she touches my eyes, <br />

She takes my heart in her hand<br />

If you knew that child you'd plainly see<br />

When she laughs I realize<br />

I'm in love with my sweet Emily<br />

<br />

Chorus:<br />

Well she knows how too boogie<br />

Like a honky tonk queen<br />

But she tells me what is jive and what is real<br />

She's a dancin' delight and she makes me feel good<br />

If I need forgiven lord I know she would<br />

<br />

There's just one in this world and<br />

It's a natural fact<br />

She can put me right back<br />

On the right track<br />

She keeps me company ya know I'm talkin'<br />

About my sweet Emily<br />

<br />

Bridge:<br />

I can't give a reason for the way that I feel<br />

But love can always tell you where your heart is<br />

There's no way to explain<br />

With the whole world in change<br />

But I know that girl will always remain the same<br />

<br />

What more can I say, no words can describe<br />

This feelin' that I have inside<br />

But if you look in my eyes<br />

You'll know I love my<br />

Sweet Emily<br />

<br />

But if you look in my eyes<br />

You'll know I love my<br />

Sweet Emily
