Emily

(album: Decisions - 2002)

Emma loves Emily in her little own way
So alone in this world from their very first day.
With her hand on her belly
She rocks and she prays
as she hums a melody to her babe everyday

Emily Emma-lye, Emma-lea-loa-lay
Emily in Emma lies
Oh the little lady lays
Emily Emma-lye, Emma-lea-loa-lay
Emma loves Emily
Little lady's on her way.

Momma sings to her womb as the months fade away
"Babe I'll see you soon just can't wait for that day"
When I see a little face in my arms as you lay
Humming melodies to my babe everyday"

Emily Emma-lye, Emma-lea-loa-lay
Emily in Emma lies
Oh the little lady lays
Emily Emma-lye, Emma-lea-loa-lay
Emma loves Emily
Little lady's on her way
She moves inside like butterflies
Momma feels her tiny feet and she can't deny
A rush of tears and fears welled up inside
'Till the day she first hears that baby

Emily Emma-lye, Emma-lea-loa-lay
Emily in Emma lies
Oh the little lady lays
Emily Emma-lye, Emma-lea-loa-lay
Emma loves Emily
Little lady's on her way

Now her babe's in her arms
and she hopes she'll always be
Momma thinks to herself "Boy she really looks like me,
wish she'd stay this small if there's any sort of way"
But her little Emily grows strong everyday
And it won't be long 'til she up and moves away
So she'll hold this moment and hold every passing day
With a song in her heart for her baby girl everyday.

Emily Emma-lye, Emma-lea-loa-lay
Emily Emma-lye, Emma-lea-loa-lay
Emily Emma-lye, Emma-lea-loa-lay
Emma loves Emily, little lady's on her way
Emma loves Emily, Little lady's on her way.
