"Emily" lyrics - JUDITH OWEN

Emily's a girl I knew in my school
Emily she took such good care of me
I used to tell myself...
"One day soon that's the way I'd like to be"
Emily had seen the things that I'd seen
Emily had know the wrongs that I'd known
I used to tell myself...
"One day soon that's the way I'd like to be"
She told me..
"Everybody's frightened
Everyone's a little scared of life
You can watch it from the side lines
A face in the crowd
But if you're not very very careful
It'll just pass you by..."
And Emily does what Emily can
One day she saw the light
And Emily ran straight for the door
She said..
"That's what it's for...
We only do the best we can."
And Emily ran
Some of us we stay to make the wrongs right
Some of us we throw away our own lives
But you know I'd rather
I'd rather be like Emily
Used to be afraid to leave my own house
Used to be afraid to live my own life
But you know I'd rather
I'd rather be like Emily
She told me..
"Everybody's frightened
Everyone's a little scared of life
You can watch it from the side lines
A face in the crowd
Pass you by..."
And Emily does what Emily can
One day she saw the light
And Emily ran straight for the door
She said..
"That's what it's for...
We only do the best we can."
And Emily ran
