Lyrics
One winter day
Dismal and Grey
Came the brightest of rays from above
Fate in an instant
Tore us apart
It was only the start of a mighty love
This tiny sage
Rosy with rage
brought us to the next page in the book
Skin light as snowfall
Soft as a breeze
Brought my heart to it's knees
With just one look
Emma Lee has gone to sleep
And the world is at peace for a while
I pray the Lord her soul to keep
'Til the morning comes to greet her with a smile
Quickly she grow
It seems like she know
Where the beautiful rose hides its thorn
Pushing the buttons,
Pulling the strings
There are so many things
For a girl to explore
Emma Lee has gone to sleep
And the world is at peace for a while
I pray the Lord her soul to keep
'Til the morning comes to greet her with a smile
What will we do
When we're alone
When the girl is all grown and moved on?
Will we make love
In every room
Will we dance in the moonlight
And sleep past the dawn
This tiny sage
Wise beyond age
Will be turning a page of her ow
Beautiful babay
Life is her name
In my heart she'll remain
The Lovely child That I've known
Emma Lee has gone to sleep
And the world is at peace for a while
I pray the Lord her soul to keep
'Til the morning comes to greet her with a smile
'Til the morning comes to greet her with a smile
'Til the morning comes to greet her with a smile
