"Emily" as written by Elton John and Bernard J.p. Taupin....
Smiles and her laughter
It's the only thing
That I've been waiting for a time
Regardless of our distance and our hope
Grows greater
Trapped by pretty eyes and letters for all time
The only thing that I've been waiting for.
I hope it's something worth the waiting
Cause it's the only time that I ever feel real
Thunder storms could never stop me
Cause there's no one in the world like Emily
She's simple yet confusing
Her sparkling eyes make me weak at my words, they tremble
Days seem like years in this month of December
The winter coldens me for I have yet to sleep
And never will I give up trying
Because you're everything to me
I hope it's something worth the waiting
It's the only time that I ever feel real
Thunder storms could never stop me
Cause there's no one in the world like Emily.
It's the only thing
That I've been waiting for a time
Regardless of our distance and our hope
Grows greater
Trapped by pretty eyes and letters for all time
The only thing that I've been waiting for.
I hope it's something worth the waiting
Cause it's the only time that I ever feel real
Thunder storms could never stop me
Cause there's no one in the world like Emily
She's simple yet confusing
Her sparkling eyes make me weak at my words, they tremble
Days seem like years in this month of December
The winter coldens me for I have yet to sleep
And never will I give up trying
Because you're everything to me
I hope it's something worth the waiting
It's the only time that I ever feel real
Thunder storms could never stop me
Cause there's no one in the world like Emily.

This song yes is about love but the symbols in it should tell you Emily has committed suicide and he is wanting to be with her he wont kill himself because its not his time everything he says about her is a memory this is not a love song this is a suicde this is how he lost his girl friend this is how he remembers her and when he gets where hes going then hell see her and he hopes its worth the waiting
Symbols-
thunderstorms (a block in which keeps you in depression)
december (the start and end of something)
winter (death)
metaphors-
the winter coldens me for i have yet to sleep (its not his time hes trapped living while dead)
shes simple yet cunfusing (how she is easy to understand but her ways are complicated who she is as a being is complex)
so this song may represent another emily in the happiness but no one truly know the meaning until you break i tdown
now think about that
