Oh, Emily

(Jasper Owens)

A young man recounts his chance meeting with the woman of his dreams. She's a businesswoman in tech moving away from Tennessee to California. He never got to tell her how she made him feel before she left. They never spoke again after their short weeks together.

(Verse) Before I even knew you, I lost you and now I'm alone. Although you looked right through me, I thought you'd see me before long. Now it's just a story, a flash of light in the eye of the storm. Somehow I always knew I'd end up writing a song, for you. And how can I know you were the one, because you left before we'd even begun. I have to get it off my chest, you really might've been the one. (Chorus) Oh, Emily Sweet, sweet, Emily I can't find an equation or simile to understand why, Oh, Emily, I can't get you out of my mind. (Verse) We spoke a few times, shortly, then you stopped answering the phone. I tried to to share a story, but I couldn't, maybe I was wrong. Maybe I didn't show you how I felt or how I could feel. I guess we'll never know it, guess you keep my heart you did steal. (Bridge) If I could show you, inside my heart and inside of my mind, oh, Emily, I know you would want to be mine. (Solo) (Chorus) Oh, Emily Sweet, sweet, Emily I can't find an equation or simile to understand why, Oh, Emily, I can't get you out of my mind. (Chorus) Oh, Emily Sweet, sweet, Emily I can't find an equation or simile to understand why, Oh, Emily, I can't get you out of my mind. I can't find a simile or metaphor Or equation to understand why, Oh, Emily, I can't get you out of my mind. (Outro Solo)
