Judith Owen - Emily lyrics

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 pa** 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 Pa** 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
