Emily

Ooh, ooh

Dear Emily
I really wanna write this carefully
Now 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 mom to marry me
But there's some things you need to know

Your papa was a rolling stone
Playing in a sold out show, yeah
Taking all the highs and the lows
But 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
Did 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
I've been alive
You're all I'll ever need
Oh 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
