lyrics

EMMA CLAIRE
(Mark Utley - Sleep Cat Music, BMI)

When the autumn leaves are falling
And a chill comes to the air
So my mind turns to the memory
Of a girl named Emma Claire
She was wild and hard to handle
But she was all a man could want
But like a fool, I chose to ramble
Like a fool I broke her heart

And I left her in October
Her blue eyes so full of tears
But I never could forget her
Though the days turned into years
And now I'm broke down in this hotel
In a city made of stone
With no one who cares about me
And no way to get back home

I still can see in my mind
That girl, as she would ride that Appaloosa mare
The sunlight on her hair

So if ever you should travel
To Carolina by the sea
And you chance to see my sweetheart
Won't you say these words for me?
Emma Claire, you know I love you
Emma Claire, I always will
And I'm sorry that I hurt you
And I miss you, darling, still

So now the evening sun sets
On me and my regrets
For all the times I should've been with you
My Emma Claire
