Chapman Beth Nielsen - Emily Lyrics

My oh my, time sure flies
I like what you've done to your hair
I've been fine yeah, these boys are mine
That must be your little girl there

Some friendships grow distant with time
And it's no wonder Emily, so much can change
We're too far to visit, too busy to write
But a closeness between us remains

Best friends are made through smiles and tears
And sometimes that fades over miles and years
But I knew right away when I saw you again
Emily, we'll always be friends

I still sing now and then
Mostly at weddings for friends
And I just bet you still get
A yearning to paint now and then

They tore down our whole street, now there's a bank
Where the house was we shared back in school
Remember we both have each other to thank
For all the boyfriends we're not married to

Best friends are made through smiles and tears
And sometimes that fades over miles and years
But I knew right away when I saw you again
Emily, we'll always be friends

'Stay as you are and you'll go far'
You signed my yearbook
'Don't forget me when you're a big star'

We can't stay, it's getting late
And they said not to let you get tired
We'll just be up the street
The number's right here by your side

Oh no, it's no trouble
I don't want to hear how all this changes my plans
I'll see you tomorrow
Call me tonight Emmy, please let me do what I can

Best friends are made through smiles and tears
And sometimes that fades over miles and years
But I knew right away when I saw you again
Emily, we'll always be friends
