lyrics

Emma Darling

If I thought there was a way
To press rewind to yesterday
Yesterday

Then I’d have my time again and
You and I would still be friends
We’d still be friends, still be friends

But it’s too late
I didn’t stop or pause or even hesitate
Leaving silly presents at your door
Assuming you would naturally want more
If I could I’d just erase the day
That I felt compelled to turn to you and say

Emma darling
When I think of you
And your eyes so blue
It makes my heart sing ooooooh
And my soul go mmmhmmm
Emma darling

You gave every indication
That you wanted my attention
Everyday, everyday

Hours of talking, late night walking
Holding hands, I could expand but
What’s the point?
What’s the point?

When it’s too late
You didn’t stop or pause or even hesitate
To take a love that rightly wasn’t yours
Knowing that you couldn’t give me more
Knowing that you’d run away the day
That I felt inspired to turn to you and say

Emma darling
When I think of you
And your eyes so blue
It makes my heart sing ooooooh
And my soul go mmmhmmm
Emma darling

If you’d loved me, this would be a different song
The notes would fall down in softer ways
We’d kiss in your room in the afternoon
I’d love you and you would love me too hmmmmmm

Bathing the aftermath
There might have been a different path but
Who’s to blame?
Who’s to blame?

Once this was a true love song
But in hindsight it was wrong to
Fall for you
Fall for you

Now it’s too late
We didn’t stop or pause or even hesitate
I’ve insulted you as you have me
Both of us have lost our dignity
Still the words ring absolutely true
when I stop regretting and I think of you

Emma darling
when I think of you and your eyes so blue
It makes my heart sing ooooooh
And my soul go mmmhmmm
Emma darling

Emma darling
When I think of you and your eyes so blue
It makes my heart sing ooooooh
And my soul go mmmhmmm
Emma darling
