  • Dear Emily
    I really wanna write this carefully
    Know that we're a family
    It's only you, your mum and me
    Dear Emily
    We're gonna live forever happily
    I'm gonna ask your mum to marry me
    But there's some things you need to know

    Poppa was a rolling stone playing in a sold out show, yeah
    Taking all the highs and lows, been 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
    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

    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, babe
    I've been alive
    You're all I'll ever need, oh 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 Writer/s: George Tizzard, James Arthur, James Michael George Bell, Rick Parkhouse
