Emily Harper - Mark Wills

Emily sat right next to me

Five days a week in the same bus seat

For a girl, she was pretty cool

She wore an old ball cap, hated lace

Made a mean short stop and second base

Never missed a day of Sunday school

And I never told a soul back then

But Emily Harper was my best friend

We carved our names on an old old limb

On the bank of the creek where we used to swim

A farmer’s son and a preacher’s only daughter

We ran bare foot throught the garden gate

All afternood we’d laugh and play

'Til the sun went down on me and Emily Harper

About the time I turned 16

I noticed Emily’s eyes were green

And how they shined when I made her laugh

I liked it when her hair was down

I hated other guys around

I played it cool, but I had it bad

Lord, her daddy had a fit

When he caught me stealing my first kiss

We carved a heart on that old old limb

On the bank of the creek where we used to swim

A farmer’s son and a preacher’s only daughter

We used to sneak off in my daddy’s car

Sit on the hood and count the stars

'Til the sun came up on me and Emily Harper

It all seemed just like yesterday

We grew up but some things never change

We still hold hands by that old old limb

On the bank of the creek where we used to swim

A farmers son and a preachers only daughter

We vowed to grow old side by side

'Til the sun goes down on me and Emily Harper

Emily Harper

Me and Emily Harper!
