she always danced like there was no one else here in this room,
The way she smiled could turn every seed into bloom,
There’s not a beer or a night out on the town that she didn’t like,
And I bet her soul,
Will never let go,
Of the way we used to be,
I used to hang around Emily,
I bet her father still thinks I’m trash,
I was gonna be different,
Come a long way since 19,
Was hoping she’d change like I changed for her,
I can still see her eyes,
The best shade of emerald green,
But that’s how it goes,
It’ll never change,
The hills and creeks will never see,
I used to hang around Emily,
And if a dollar was what she wanted,
To help change her mind,
Well I’d give up my whole check book just to have all of her time,
I hope she’s well,
I wish her all the best,
Since the day she left me,
I used to hang around Emily,
The winds never stop,
The cars keep on rolling,
And I’ll sit with a cup of tea,
I used to hang around Emily,
And if a dollar was what she wanted,
To help change her mind,
Well I’d give up my whole check book just to have all of her time,
I hope she’s well,
I wish her all the best,
Since the day she left me,
I used to hang around Emily,
I used to hang around Emily,
