Dear Emily

I really wanna write this carefully

Now that we′re a familyIt's only you, your mom and me

Dear Emily

We′re gonna live forever happily

I'm gonna ask your mom to marry me

But there's some things you need to know

Your papa was a rolling stone

Playing in a sold-out show, yeah

Taking all the highs and the lows

But living with an empty soul, yeah

And if you ever read the things they wrote

I hope that you can let them go

I was living in a different world

Before I had my little girl, yeah

Emily

When I hear you cry, I′ll sing you back to sleep

Did you know you inspire all my melodies?

You make me a better man than I′ll ever be

Ever be, ever be

Because of you, Emily

Dear Emily

I saw you way before you came to me

'Cause I picked out your name and wrote it on paper

I needed life and life came, and gave me Emily

Will I be good enough for you?

The truth is, I′m afraid of everyone and anything that could hurt you

Oh, Emily

If you ever feel lonely, just sit next to me

Since we brought you home with us, you're everything

You make me a better man than I′ll ever be

Ever be, ever be

Because of you, Emily, yeah

Oh, you're all I′ll ever need, baby

Happily, yeah-ah, yeah-ah

You're all I'll ever need, oh, no-no-no-no-no

When I′m looking at your tiny feet

I feel your heartbeat here inside of me

I feel a love that I just can′t believe

Oh, Emily

When I hear you cry, I'll sing you back to sleep

Oh, do you know you inspire all my melodies?

You make me a better man than I′ll ever be

Ever be, ever be

Because of you, Emily

Oh, Emily

If you ever feel lonely, just sit next to me

Oh, since we brought you home with us, you're everything

You′re everything

You make me a better man than I'll ever be

Ever be, ever be

Because of you, Emily
