lyrics

I will not forget my sister's face the day that she died
Such a frail little girl I remember how I cried
When she reached out to squeeze my hand I knew her time had come
And when her fingers slipped from mine I knew that it was done

Oh sweet Emily you're going Home
Sweet Emily and I can't go

Looking back upon our younger days when we'd go out to play
She was weaker than the rest of us so we'd laugh and run away
But sometimes I'd lie awake at night and wonder what was wrong
Oh I had the feeling even then that her days would not be long

Oh sweet Emily you're going Home
Sweet Emily and I can't go

Sometimes I almost hear her calling me
But Heaven seems so far away

Oh sweet Emily you're going Home
Sweet Emily and I can't go

I will not forget my sister's face the strange way that she smiled
Like the times she'd gaze up at the sky when she was just a child
And I still can hear the echo of the last thing she could say
This life is but a moment in the morning of my day

Oh sweet Emily you're going Home
Sweet Emily and I can't go
Sweet Emily you're going Home
Sweet Emily and I can't go

I got Phil's TIME double CD set years ago and two of the songs from this original release are on it, so when I saw his offer to download it, I jumped on the opportunity to hear the rest of the album! andykercher

Town To Town (remastered)
by Phil Keaggy - Deluxe Studio vocal albums

supported by 19 fans who also own “Emily”

Another killer album by Phil, checkout full circle. The guitar intro is one reason why Phil is so legendary. Also wished you were there is just so energetic and town to town is a classic as well. The drummer is excellent as well, but anyone who plays with Phil is top notch. He’s had always played with great drummers. Craig Opal
