Sweet Emily by Leon Russell Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, all right

[Verse 1]
There’s a lady I know
And I'm lucky to say
She's a woman in every way
'Cause she weeps just like a willow
When hate is clouding up my day

[Verse 2]
When she touches my eyes
She takes my heart in her hand
If you knew that child you'd plainly see
When she laughs I realize
I'm in love with my sweet Emily

[Bridge 1]
Whoa, she knows how to boogie
Like a honky tonk queen
But she tells me what is jive and when it's real
She's a dancin' delight
And to make me feel good
If I need forgiving, Lord I’d know she would
[Verse 3]
Just one in the world
And it's a natural fact
She can put me right back on the right track
Oh, she keep me company
You know I’m talking 'bout my sweet Emily

[Bridge 2]
Oh now, you can't guess a reason
For the way that I feel
But love can always tell you where your heart is
There's no way to explain
With the whole world in chains
But know that girl will always remain the same

[Verse 4]
What more can I say
No words can describe
This feeling that I have inside
But if you look in my eyes
You'll know I love my sweet Emily
Yeah

[Outro]
Yeah, if you look in my eyes
You'll know I love my sweet Emily
Woo yeah
Take a time
Won't you look in my eyes
And you'll know I love my sweet Emily
Yeah
