i will not forget my sister's face the day that
|
she died / such a frail little girl i remember
|
how i cried
|
|
when she reached out to squeeze my hand
|
i knew her time had come / and when her
|
fingers slipped from mine i knew that it was
|
done
|
|
oh sweet emily you're going Home / sweet
|
emily and i can't go
|
|
looking back upon our younger days when
|
we'd go out to play / she was weaker than
|
the rest of us so we'd laugh and run away
|
|
but sometimes i'd lie awake at night and
|
wonder what was wrong / oh i had the feel-
|
ing even then that her days would not be
|
long
|
|
oh sweet emily you're going Home / sweet
|
emily and i can't go
|
|
sometimes i almost hear her calling me / but
|
Heaven seems so far away
|
|
.......
|
|
i will not forget my sister's face the strange
|
way that she smiled / like the times she'd
|
gaze up in the sky when she was just a child
|
|
and i still can hear the echo of the last thing
|
she could say / this life is but a moment in
|
the morning of my day
|
|
oh sweet emily you're going Home / sweet
|
emily and i can't go
|
|
sweet emily you're going Home / sweet emily
|
and i can't go
|
