Verse 1:
D 
What a strange thing to happen at this time of life 
   A  
to find what's important and tell your wife, 
  G                                              D 
I never wanted children, but I'd a had them with you 

and if daughters were as plenty as the fish in the sea 
            A  
and I could only have one, the only one for me, 
  G                A                    D 
I know what I'd do, I'd choose sweet Emily 


 
        G                       D 
She can light up our lives in a heartbeat 
        G                            D 
she can put you in your place with a word 
        G                        D 
She's a woman still growing into who she will be 
   A             G        D 
So here's to our sweet Emily

Verse 2:
 
D 
She's got her mother's smile but a soul all her own 
                A  
sometimes she's heavy of heart but has always shown 
    G                               D 
she digs down deep just to get life done 

If I could give her one truth to keep and believe 
            A  
I know it's hard for her to try and conceive 
          G 
there are few things as perfect 
A               D 
as our sweet Emily 


 
        G                       D

She's a woman still growing into who she will be 
   A             G        D

Verse 3:
 
             D 
I've lived a pretty full life, as full as I could 
      A  
but I never believed that I ever would 
     G                                  D 
be rewarded like this, it wasn't in the cards 

the joy that she brings to an old man like me 
     A  
this late in the game, you'd have to agree 
     G 
it's more than I deserve 
A                D 
from my sweet Emily

        G                        D

   A             G        D
