Emily

Dear Emily

I really wanna write this carefully

Know that we’re a family

It’s only you, your mom and me

Dear Emily

We’re gonna live forever happily

I’m gonna ask your mum to marry me

But there’s some things you need to know

Poppa was a rolling stone playing in a sold out show, yeah

Taking all the highs and lows, been living with an empty soul, yeah

And if you ever read the things they wrote, I hope that you can let them go

I was living in a different world before I had my little girl, yeah

Emily

When I hear you cry I’ll sing you back to sleep

Do you know you inspire all my melodies?

‘Cause you make me a better man than I’ll ever be, ever be, ever be

Because of you, Emily

Dear Emily

I saw you way before you came to me

‘Cause I picked out your name and wrote it on paper

I needed life and life came and gave me Emily

Will I be good enough for you?

The truth is I’m afraid of everyone and anything that could hurt you

Oh, Emily

If you ever feel lonely, just sit next to me

Since we brought you home with us you’re everything

‘Cause you make me a better man than I’ll ever be, ever be, ever be

Because of you, Emily, yeah

Oh, you’re all I’ll ever need, baby

You’re all I’ll ever need, oh no, no no, no

When I’m looking at your tiny feet

I feel your heartbeat here inside of me

I feel a love that I just can’t believe

Oh, Emily

When I hear you cry I’ll sing you back to sleep

Oh, do you know you inspire all my melodies?

‘Cause you make me a better man than I’ll ever be, ever be, ever be

Because of you, Emily

Oh, Emily

If you ever feel lonely, just sit next to me

Oh, since we brought you home with us you’re everything, you’re everything

‘Cause you make me a better man than I’ll ever be, ever be, ever be

Because of you, Emily
