Lyrics
Headed nowhere but getting' there fast
Googled one thing, that's a love that lasts
(there were) plenty of candidates, with plenty of fun
All lacking a heart, pleading to be won
When you least expect, curves come your way
Top down in my Sebring that wonderful day
You jumped from a plane at 10,000 feet
Parachuted into my passenger seat
I asked your name, you grinned at me
Fell in love when I heard back,
CHORUS
Emma Lee Emma Lee
The part that was missing from me
Was Emma Lee
Everything I need my love to be
Sweet Emma Lee Emma Lee
Ever since that day we're going strong
Emma Lee's my only love song
We jump with two chutes, but one heart
Never want to be ten thousand feet apart
Emma Lee Emma Lee
The part that was missing from me
My Emma Lee
Everything I need my love to be
Sweet Emma Lee Emma Lee
You jumped from a plane at 10,000 feet
Parachuted into my passenger seat
Emma Lee Emma Lee Emma Lee
