If I had a girl like Emily
If I had a girl like Emily
I′d smile all the time
I'd be as happy as can be
If I had a girl like Emily

If I was the boy to make her laugh
If I was the boy to make her laugh
I′d cherish every moment
Lord i'd take a photograph
If I was the boy to make her laugh

If I was the one she called at night
If I was the one she called at night
We'd talk for hours and hours until the morning light
If I was the one she called at night

If I had a girl like Emily
If I had a girl like Emily
I′d smile all the time
I′d be as happy as can be
If I had a girl like Emily

If I was the one to dry her tears
If I was the one to dry her tears
Lord I would comfort her till her mind is well and clear
If I was the one to dry her tears

If she was the girl to wear my ring
If she was the girl to wear my ring
I'd love her forever
Lord I′d treat her like a queen
If she was the girl to wear my ring

Oh If I had a girl like Emily
If I had a girl like Emily
I'd smile all the time
I′d be as happy as can be
If I had a girl like Emily




If I had a girl oh if I had a girl
If I had a girl like Emily
