Mark Wills - Emily Harper Lyrics

Emily sat right next to me
Five days a week in the same bus seat
For a girl she was pretty cool
She wore an old ball cap, hated lace 
Made a mean short stop and second base 
Never missed a day of Sunday school
And I never told a soul back then 
But Emily Harper was my best friend.

We carved our names on an old old limb 
On the bank of the creek where we used to swim
A farmers son and a preachers only daughter
We ran bare foot through the garden gate
All afternoon we'd laugh and play
'Til the sun went down on me and Emily Harper.

--- Instrumental ---

About the time I turned sixteen,
I noticed Emily's eyes were green
And how they shined when I made her laugh
I liked it when her hair was down
I hated other guys around
I played it cool, but I had it bad
Lord, her daddy had a fit 
When he caught me stealing my first kiss.

We carved a heart on that old oak limb
On the bank of the creek where we used to swim
A farmers son and a preachers only daughter
We used to sneak off in my daddy's car
Sit on the hood and count the stars 
'Til the sun came up on me and Emily Harper.

It all seems just like yesterday
We grew up but some things never change
We still hold hands by that old oak limb
On the bank of the creek where we used to swim
A farmers son and a preachers only daughter
She sure did make a lovely bride 
We vowed to grow old side by side
'Til the sun goes down on me and Emily Harper.

Emily Harper.
Me and Emily Harper...
