Emily's Song

The road back home is often traveled alone
And for why that is, well only heaven knows.
'Cause I find the strength lies in walking a straight line
With someone to lean on and share the load.

Emily, You have changed my recipe
Emily, Every Moment I love You.

The lonesome soul leads to a pot of gold
Is a worn out fable that grows tired and old.
'Cause I find in more ways, that after a long day,
I'm the richest man when I have you to hold.

Emily, You have changed my recipe
Emily, Every Moment I love You.

Emily you've saved the soul
Of this troubled man who's Rock n' Roll
Is filled with poety and prose
Of loving hands holding thorny roses.
Emily, it's time you know
That I'm convinced, I am sold.
I ain't worth nothing without you.

It's a two-bit part to play the man with no heart
And take curtain calls when you have mastered the art.
'Cause I've come to find that at the end of the third act
The hero's the fool, 'tis the lover whose smart.

Emily, You have changed my recipe
Emily, Every Moment I love You.

Emily.
Emily.
Emily.
