Emily

Emily
music by Johnny Mandel (left)
lyric by Johnny Mercer (right)

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 dreamily, Emily too.
