Mark Wills - Emily Harper Lyrics
(lee thomas miller/michael white)Emily sat right next to meFive days a week in the same bus seatFor a girl she was pretty coolShe wore an old ball cap, hated lacePlayed a mean shortstop and second baseNever missed a day of sunday schoolAnd I never told a soul back thenBut emily harper was my best friendWe carved our names on an old oak limbOn the bank of the creek where we used to swimA farmers son and a preachers only daughterWe ran barefoot through the garden gateAll afternoon wed laugh and playtil the sun went down on meAnd emily harperAbout the time I turned sixteenI noticed emilys eyes were greenAnd how they shined when I made her laughI liked it when her hair was downI hated other guys aroundI played it cool but I had it badLord, her daddy had a fitWhen he caught me stealing my first kissWe carved a heart on that old oak limbOn the bank of the creek where we used to swimA farmers son and a preachers only daughterWe used to sneak off in my daddys carSit on the hood and count the starstil the sun came up on meAnd emily harperIt all seems just like yesterdayWe grew up but some things never changeWe still hold hands by that old oak limbOn the bank of the creek where we used to swimA farmers son and a preachers only daughterShe sure did make a lovely brideWe vowed to grow old side by sidetil the sun goes down on meAnd emily harperEmily harperMe and emily harper
