The McKrells: The Songs

• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

'For Emily'. I wrote the tune while thinking about my daughter Kate and how hard it was to watch her struggle through those painful adolescent years and how thrilled I was to see her safely come out the other side. However I named the tune after a young girl I first sang the tune for in Millbrook NY.
Happy Birthday Emily.

I'm glad to see you happy
It is so very nice to see you finally smile
Though it's sad to say I have not see that look upon
your pretty face in quite awhile.
Now all the world can see your skies are blue again
That happiness for you is just around the bend
So you can smile again for a while and then...

Heard that you have been hurting
Lost, alone and wandering mile after mile.
Somewhere out in the wasteland carrying such a heavy load for such a little child
I heard that you have found your way home my friend
That your heart has come around and you are on the mend
It's so good to have you back again. And to see you smile
, Just to see you smile


Life goes by from day to day.
Love at times from kiss to kiss can fade away.
Don't be afraid to turn the tide
To face your fear Love again, go outside
And tell the world all your skies will blue again
That happiness for you is just around the bend.
You can smile again...for a while and then.

All the world can see all your skies will be blue again
That happiness for you is just around the bend.
It's so good to have you back again. And to see you smile
, Just to see you smile
I would give all I have to see you smile,I would give all I have...to see you smile.
