Jackie Greene - Emily's In Heaven lyrics

I was half asleep when I heard the news, sad words on the phone I just couldn’t believe my ears, I couldn’t believe she’s gone I tried to make some sense of it, but sense I could not make How a girl like her could go like that it must be some mistake Well I’d known her since forever, or as far back as I go She always had an answer for the things I didn’t know She never hurt anybody, never did them wrong she walked to the tune of life teaching everyone the song Now Emily’s in Heaven, and I’m awake in bed Sometimes how I wish, the Good Lord took me instead But I guess the good die young and life just isn’t fair But Emily’s in Heaven she’ll be waiting for me there Eleven different doctors and not one had a clue They rushed her to emergency but there was nothing they could do They said she had a weak heart, she’d always been that way I said she just gave too much of it away Now Emily’s in Heaven, and I’m awake in bed Sometimes how I wish, the Good Lord took me instead But I guess the good die young and life just isn’t fair But Emily’s in Heaven she’ll be waiting for me there We laid her down for peaceful sleep, time was standing still Everybody said a prayer on top of moonlight hill I said goodbye with a rose how she loved them so Then I turned away, tried not to cry and did my best to go
