The Lightning Seeds
Emily Smiles
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Hey girl, l miss your smile
Gotta say it's been a while
Just reaching out, are you okay?
You haven't got a lot to say (Oh, oh, oh)
I guess you'll say it anyway (Oh, oh, oh)
And whisper dreams that just fade away

[Pre-Chorus]
Time is flying, dreams are dying
Can't you see we’re really trying?
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby

[Chorus]
When Emily cries, I lose my head and I lose my mind
Then she says hi
Haven't seen you in a while
Then Emily smiles (Baby, baby)

[Post-Chorus]
Time is tight, life’s a fight
Now's the time, get it right
People laughing, people crying
Can't you see we're really trying?
[Verse 2]
You wanted a quiet life, trouble free
Hands untied, no one lying by your side
(Goodbye) So goodbye to sorrow, say hello to tomorrow

[Chorus]
When Emily cries, I lose my head and I lose my mind
Then she says hi
Haven't seen you in a while
Then Emily smiles (Baby, baby)

[Post-Chorus]
Time is tight, life’s a fight
Now's the time, get it right
People laughing, people crying
Can't you see we're really trying?

[Bridge]
We’re down on our knees
Nothing inside us
No one to guide us

[Pre-Chorus]
Floating in silence (Baby, baby, baby, baby)
So goodbye to sorrow, say hello to tomorrow (Baby, baby, baby, baby)
[Chorus]
When Emily cries, I lose my head and I lose my mind
Then she says hi, haven't seen you in a while and
Then Emily smiles (Baby, baby)
Then Emily smiles (Baby, baby)
