Dear Emma in heaven,
God shines his light on you.
And now you sleep with the angels
And the saints around the throne
And I can't bring you back,
But I will live to go to you
I can't bring you back
But I will live to go
I can't bring you back
But I will live to go to you, my girl
So push me up into the skyline
High enough to feel you breath
Surround me ever so completely
Because you are everything I need
Dear Emma in heaven
If I could turn the clock back, I would
And I won't weep tears that speak
I love you more than death that tore us apart
And I can't bring you back,
But I will live to go to you
I can't bring you back
But I will live to go
I can't bring you back
But I will live to go to you, my girl
So push me up into the skyline
High enough to feel you breath
Surround me ever so completely
Because you are everything I need
And I can't bring you back,
But I will live to go to you
I can't bring you back
But I will live to go
I can't bring you back
But I will live to go to you, my girl
I can't bring you back,
But I will live to go to you
Said a father to his daughter
We laid your body in ground
How we sang for you, sang for you
So push me up into the skyline
High enough to feel you breath
Surround me ever so completely
Because you are everything I need
