Emily's Song

The Moody Blues · Every Good Boy Deserves Favour [1971]

Lovely to know the warmth

Your smile can bring to me

I want to tell you

but the words you do not know



Sing me a lullaby

Of songs you cannot write

And I will listen

for there's beauty where there's love



And in the morning of my night

And in the evening of my day

I will try to understand

In what you say,



Rivers of endless tides

Have passed beneath my feet

And all too soon

They had me standing on my own



Then when my eyes were closed

You opened them for me

And now we journey through our lives

To what will be



And in the morning of my night

And in the evening of my day

I will try to understand

In what you say,



Through all that life can give to you

Only true love will see you through

And we'll stand beside you

In what you say,



And in the morning of my night

And in the evening of my day

I will try to understand

In what you say,



Take me into your world

Alone I cannot go

For I've been here so long

You're leaving me behind

Walk with me now

Into your land of fairy tales

And open up that book of pages in my mind

And open up that book of ages in my mind

And open up that book of pages in my mind

And open up that book of ages in my mind,
