Emily Harper Lyrics - Singles - Mark Wills

Emily sat right next to me 

Five days a week in the same bus seat 

For a girl she was pretty cool 

She wore an old ball cap, hated lace 

Played a mean shortstop and second base 

Never missed a day of Sunday school 

And I never told a soul back then 

But Emily Harper was my best friend 

We carved our names on an old oak limb 

On the bank of the creek where we used to swim 

A farmer's son and a preacher's only daughter 

We ran barefoot through the garden gate 

All afternoon we'd laugh and play 

'Til the sun went down on me 

And Emily Harper 

About the time I turned sixteen 

I noticed Emily's eyes were green 

And how they shined when I made her laugh 

I liked it when her hair was down 

I hated other guys around 

I played it cool but I had it bad 

Lord, her Daddy had a fit 

When he caught me stealing my first kiss 

We carved a heart on that old oak limb 

On the bank of the creek where we used to swim 

A farmer's son and a preacher's only daughter 

We used to sneak off in my daddy's car 

Sit on the hood and count the stars 

'Til the sun came up on me 

And Emily Harper 

It all seems just like yesterday 

We grew up but some things never change 

We still hold hands by that old oak limb 

On the bank of the creek where we used to swim 

A farmer's son and a preacher's only daughter 

She sure did make a lovely bride 

We vowed to grow old side by side 

'Til the sun goes down on me 

And Emily Harper 

Emily Harper 

Me and Emily Harper
