Emily Lyrics - Beth Nielsen Chapman

My oh my, time sure flies 

I like what you've done to your hair 

I've been fine yeah, these boys are mine 

That must be your little girl there 

Some friendships grow distant with time 

And it's no wonder Emily, so much can change 

We're too far to visit, too busy to write 

But a closeness between us remains 

Best friends are made through smiles and tears 

And sometimes that fades over miles and years 

But I knew right away when I saw you again 

Emily, we'll always be friends 

I still sing now and then 

Mostly at weddings for friends 

And I just bet you still get 

A yearning to paint now and then 

They tore down our whole street, now there's a bank 

Where the house was we shared back in school 

Remember we both have each other to thank 

For all the boyfriends we're not married to 

Best friends are made through smiles and tears 

And sometimes that fades over miles and years 

But I knew right away when I saw you again 

Emily, we'll always be friends 

'Stay as you are and you'll go far' 

You signed my yearbook 

'Don't forget me when you're a big star' 

We can't stay, it's getting late 

And they said not to let you get tired 

We'll just be up the street 

The number's right here by your side 

Oh no, it's no trouble 

I don't want to hear how all this changes my plans 

I'll see you tomorrow 

Call me tonight Emmy, please let me do what I can 

Best friends are made through smiles and tears 

And sometimes that fades over miles and years 

But I knew right away when I saw you again 

Emily, we'll always be friends
