Emily

(album: Steppin' Out - 1979)

Ever since you've been gone
Something's been going on
I've been searching to
Find some way to tell you
Something's changed in my heart
All the light has gone dark
I keep trying to find all
The love we knew

Oh, weighing on my mind forever
Oh, can't imagine why
Girl, we had no promises
We live from day to day
But there's a change in my affection
And now's the time for me to say

Oh Emily, baby, please
Stop loving me
All of the dreams of
Yesterday have gone
Emily, baby, won't you
Please, stop loving me
I've lost the feeling
Please, understand it's gone

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Oh, yesterday when you called
I could tell you were fine
Nothing changed, you
Couldn't wait to see me
But I just can't go on
Love was here now it's gone
How can I hold you close
When I feel so far away

Weighing on my mind forever
Oh, can't imagine why
Girl, we had no promises
We go from day to day
There's a change in my affection
Now's the time for me to say

Oh Emily, baby, please
Stop loving me
Oh, all of the dreams
Of yesterday have gone
Emily, baby, won't you
Please, stop loving me
I've lost the feeling
Please, understand it's gone

Oh Emily, baby, please
Stop loving me
Oh, all of the dreams
Of yesterday have gone
Emily, baby, won't you
Please, stop loving me
I've lost the feeling

Oh Emily, baby
