Sweet Emily Lyrics - Shelter People - Leon Russell

There's a lady I know, and I'm lucky to say, 

She's a woman in every way. 

Cuz she weeps just like a willow 

When the hate is cloudin' up my day 

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 

Chorus: 

Well she knows how too boogie 

Like a honky tonk queen 

But she tells me what is jive and what is real 

She's a dancin' delight and she makes me feel good 

If I need forgiven lord I know she would

There's just one in this world and 

It's a natural fact 

She can put me right back 

On the right track 

She keeps me company ya know I'm talkin' 

About my sweet Emily 

Bridge: 

I can't give 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 change 

But I know that girl will always remain the same
