Emily (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Now Emily hides in a way
she is waiting for a
knight in shining armor
and I know that nothing I’d say
could make her see me
as a man of honor

but I am

now sometimes I wish she could see through
all the rain and clouds that fill her sky
and know that tomorrow brings with wings
of bird a song to fill her mind

and I am

oh yes I am

[Chorus:]
the one who can sing
all of the dreams
the one who can make them all come true
if she would believe
I’m down on my knees
but in my hands I hold

Now Emily stands at the door
a picture lies in pieces on the floor
the one where we walked on the beach
the wind blew waves
that crashed upon the shore
oh we are
forever more

[Chorus:]
the one who can sing
all of our dreams
the one who can make them all come true
if she would believe
I’m down on my knees
but in my hands I hold

everything that she wants
everything that should be
as far as her
big blue eyes could see
if she would believe
I’m down on my knees
but in my hands I hold

what do you want me to do
my head in my hands
I wait for the words
to come and make you understand
so tell me I’m right
tell me I touched you down
so deep inside

Now Emily hides in a way
she is waiting for a
knight in shining armor
and I know that nothing I’d say
can make her see me
as a man of honor

[Chorus:]
I’m the one who can sing
all of our dreams
the one who can make them all come true
if she would believe
I’m down on my knees
but in my hands I hold

everything that she wants
everything that should be
as far as her
big blue eyes could see

if she would believe
I’m down on my knees
but in my hands I hold

in my hands I hold
the ring

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Words & music: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick

Caught, in an endless time
Waiting for a sign
To show you where to go
Lost, in a silent stare
Looking anywhere
For answers you don’t know
Chorus:
On the wire
Balancing your dreams
Hoping ends will meet their means
You feel alone
Uninspired
Well does it help you to
Know that i believe in you
You’re an angel waiting for wings…emily

You, going through this stage
It’s a restless age
Young and insecure
Sill, there are doubts to fade
Moments to be made
And one of them is yours

Chorus

On the wire
Balancing your dreams
Hoping ends will meet their means
But you feel alone
Uninspired
Oh does it help you to
Know that i believe in you
You’re an angel waiting for wings
Oh, you’re an angel waiting for wings…emily

Oh Emily
Do you remember me
From that summer night
When we first met
Do you remember when
We both sat in
My car and we talked for hours
Oh Emily
Do you remember me
Cause I haven’t heard from you
In such a long time

Oh Emily
Do you remember me
From the notes that I
Would leave in your car
Do you remember that
First time we kissed
Outside your home on our first date
Oh and Emily
Do you remember me
Cause I haven’t heard from you
In such a long time

Oh Emily…

Oh Emily
Did you forget me
The sweetest guy
You ever met
Did you forget all
Those sweet things I did
To try and make you fall for me
Oh Emily
You missed out on me
Cause I no longer care
If you’re mine

Emily (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Oh emily, i’d love to be
Down by the sea with you
Having tea with you
Walking hand in hand
On the shifting sands
Maybe we’ll love again
Maybe we’ll love again

Soon the time will come
When we must say
Goodbye my dear dear friend
Till we meet again
Though i’m far away
I’ll still hear you say
Maybe we’ll love again
Maybe we’ll love again

Hold my hand
On the sand
And say once more
Like before
Maybe we’ll love again
Maybe we’ll love again

Maybe we’ll love again

Nine Days

Nine Days

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

woke up to find
I lost my mind
Lost heart, lost nerve
I lost my favourite word –
Emily

I take my cigarettes
I give ‘em a smoke
Oh god
My heart feels froze
I’ve lost something it seems
I’ve misplaced my favourite thing –
Emily

Chorus
Where does love go
If it can’t find a home
One moment here then gone
With no forwarding address
Love no longer has a house
Or residence in flesh

Take the keys
I get in the car
To out run this
Man i’d have to go real far
Where mercy wears lace
And bottles are thieves
Which of these took you from me?
Emily

I face myself
But there’s this draft inside
Parts of me drowned
In perpetual tide
I wanna call names
I wanna throw things around
But no bar can buy
Forgiveness another round for
Emily

Chorus

I go to the bedroom
Turn on the light
It’s like an empty altar
No angel in sight
Religion with no temple
No place to take my worship to
No god for my eyes to see
No fruit to lay at the feet of
Emily
Gone
Gone

Writer(s): johnny mercer – johnny mandel

Emily, emily, emily
Has the murmuring sound of may
All silver bells, coral shells, carousels
And the laughter of children at play

Say emily, emily, emily
And we fade to a marvelous view
Two lovers alone and out of sight
Seeing images in the firelight
As my eyes visualize a family
They see emily, emily

(and we fade to a marvelous view)
Two lovers alone and out of sight
Seeing images in the firelight
As my eyes visualize a family
They see emily, emily
Too

(hinkel / freudenthaler)

Emily’s going out tonight
With a candle in her pocket and
A lighter in her right hand
Does anybody know
Why she’s gonna go
She’s nearly out of sight
Emily’s out tonight

So familiar
How ladylike the old girl comes along
She’s ninety something,
Dressed up and wide awake
A little slow but going strong
She’s paid off the overdraft
For the tv she has bought in 84
She’s been paying all her lifetime
But now she’s gonna pay no more

Deep religious
She went to mess on every sunday morning
She’s believing
In god but she don’t like
The priest he’s new in town ¨c and very boring
She’s listened to his sermon well
Though she’s heard the same one hundred times before
She’s heard them all her lifetime
But now she’s gonna listen anymore

Emily’s going out tonight
With a candle in her pocket and
A lighter in her right hand
Does anybody know
Why she’s gonna go away
She’s gonna make it today

She’s very friendly
And open minded always understanding
Bad behaviour
She doesn’t like at all
She’s very modest, she’s never been demanding
She’s always followed every rule
Though she didn’t even know what they’ve been for
She has followed all her lifetime
But now she’s gonna follow anymore

Emily’s going out tonight…

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Emily shrugs and drags her heels as she takes the guided tour
It seemed like such an amazing deal
When she was looking at the brochure

Stuck on a bus with strangers
Wishing she could be ay home
With me poor little emily
How does it feel to be free?

Lyin’ in bed
The pain in my head
From running around all day
Tryin’ to find what was rightfully mine
But i ran out of things to say

Runnin’ around with strangers
Wishing she could run away with me..
Poor little emily,
How does it feel to be free

From familiar fingertips
To a persecuted grip?
From the pan into the fire
Now a thread becomes a wire
Under which you must crawl
Through a ditch and over the wall

Emily works her fingers
Right down to her aching bones
While my aching head’s got me stuck
In bed working on being alone

Working around the clock
Wishing she had worked it out with me
Poor little emily
How does it feel to be free?
Poor little emily
How does it feel to be free?
Poor little emily
How does it feel to be free?

Emily (Letra)

Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album the one

The church bells ring out morning glory
When summer bends to the winter’s rage
Emily walks through the cemetery
Passed a dog in an unmarked grave
The old girl hobbles, nylons sagging
Talks to her sisters in the ground
I saw a lie in the mirror this morning
I heard a prophesy all around

And emily they come and go
The shadows and the distant sounds
But emily don’t be afraid
When the weight of angels weighs you down

Emily prays to a faded hero
In a little frame clutched to her gown
Hears the voice of promise in his memory
Tonight’s the night they let the ladder down
In a cage sits a gold canary
By a wicker chair and a rosewood loom
As a soul ascends abord the evening
Canary sings to an empty room

And emily they come and go
The shadows and the distant sounds
But emily don’t be afraid
When the weight of angels weighs you down

Emily (Letra)

{VERSE 1}
It wasn’t supposed to be like this
Another dose of unhappiness
I gave it all and managed to get shot down yet again
So I got drunk
Had sex with all your friends
You told me to never call your house again

Emily, you saved the day
Emily, when you threw me away

She was always such a pretty girl
Nobody like her in the world
A little piece of heavenly
That no one else could stand
I see her in my dreams at night
I see you when I close my eyes
I just can’t seem to shake you, Emily

{VERSE 2}
You got your money and I got cast
Outside thrown out on my ass
In the city with no one else, no where else to go
So I hooked up with this model from Singapore
Emily, I sure am glad you didn’t want me anymore

She was always such a pretty girl
Nobody like her in the world
A little piece of heavenly
That no one else could stand
I see her in my dreams at night
I see you when I close my eyes
I just can’t seem to shake you, Emily
Yeah

Emily, you saved the day
Emily, you saved the day
Emily, you saved my ass

Emily (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

My oh my, time sure flies
I like what you’ve done to your hair
I’ve been fine, yeah, these boys are mine
That must be your little girl there

Some friendships grow distant with time
And it’s no wonder, emily, so much can change
We’re too far to visit, too busy to write
But a closeness between us remains

Chorus:
Best friends are made through smiles and tears
And sometimes that fades over miles and years
But i knew right away when i saw you again
Emily, we’ll always be friends

I still sing now and then
Mostly at weddings for friends
And i just bet you still get
A yearning to paint now and then

They tore down our whole street
Now there’s a bank where the house was we shared back in school
Remember we both have each other to thank
For all the boyfriends we’re not married to

Chorus

"stay as you are and you’ll go far"
You signed my yearbook
"don’t forget me when you’re a big star"

We can’t stay, it’s getting late
And they said not to let you get tired
We’ll just be up the street
The number’s right here by your side

Oh no it’s no trouble
I don’t want to hear how all this changes my plans
I’ll see you tomorrow
Call me tonight, emmy, please let me do what i can

Chorus

Words and music: j. stacy

I had a dream i could leave you behind
Looking back over my cold shoulder
Little girl stepping down to the river
You call for me but i do not answer

In a daze i was walking away
Losing memories of love and laughter
I was fading into the darkness
It was me, but there was no likeness

Emily, emily…
Emily, emily… it was just a bad dream… just a bad dream…

I had a dream i was going away
Looking back i could see you dreaming too
Sleep-walking down by the river
I called your name but you did not answer me…
And i did not answer you…
You did not answer me¡­
And i did not answer you…
Emily, emily…

I woke up in the middle of the night
I took you in my arms and held you tightly
You were cold and shivering all over
I woke you up baby what’s the matter…

You were trapped in a terrible dream
You were drowning in ice cold water
I was gone, i was far away
But you could hear me calling out your name¡­

Emily, emily, emily…
Emily, emily… it was just a bad dream… just a bad dream…

You had a dream i was going away
Looking up you could see me dreaming too
Sleep-walking down by the river
You called my name but i did not answer you
And you did not answer me
I did not answer you
And you did not answer me…
Emily, emily…

Emily, emily, emily¡­¡­
