Emily, Emily, Emily

Em7 A7  D6         D9   D7/9  G     Gdim
Has the murmuring sound  of  May

A   B             G#7           C#m7     F#7
All silver bells, coral shells, carousels

        Bm7     Bm7/E  E7     E7/6   A7   A7+5 Gdim A7+5
And the laughter of   child - ren at play --   they say

"Emily, Emily, Emily"

And we fade to a mar - vel - ous view

Two  lov - ers a - lone and out of sight

See - ing images         in the firelight

A7    G    G/F#        A7  G  F#m    B7
As my eyes vis - ual - ize a family

They see dreamily, Emily

As my eyes vis - ual - ize a family

They see Emily, Emily,     too.
