[Verse 1]
Emily tries but misunderstands (Ah, ooh)
She's often inclined to borrow somebody’s dreams 'til tomorrow
[Chorus]
There is no other day
Let’s try it another way
You’ll lose your mind and play
Free games for May
See Emily play
[Verse 2]
Soon after dark, Emily cries (Ah, ooh)
Gazing through trees in sorrow, hardly a sound 'til tomorrow
[Chorus]
There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You’ll lose your mind and play
Free games for May
See Emily play
[Verse 3]
Put on a gown that touches the ground (Ah, ooh)
Float on a river forever and ever, Emily (Emily)
[Chorus]
There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You’ll lose your mind and play
Free games for May
See Emily play
Emily tries but misunderstands (Ah, ooh)
She's often inclined to borrow somebody’s dreams 'til tomorrow
[Chorus]
There is no other day
Let’s try it another way
You’ll lose your mind and play
Free games for May
See Emily play
[Verse 2]

See Emily play
[Verse 3]
Put on a gown that touches the ground (Ah, ooh)
Float on a river forever and ever, Emily (Emily)
[Chorus]
There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You’ll lose your mind and play
Free games for May
