emma Lyrics

the first time i saw emma
she was above me in a dream
and she throwed her arms around me
and off we flew it seemed
like an airplane
moving up and down
through the country town
passing oe'r the cities so slow
slowly...

but emma comes to see me
about 8 o'clock each night
and she throws her arms around me
and off we go in flight
like an airplane
moving up and down
through the country town
passing over the cites so slow
slowly...

but emma's late
emma's late
oooh and i
i can't wait
my dinners served by half past eight and i
can't wait
i can't wait til 9

the last time i saw my emma
she made me love her til i died
and we walked through clouds together
searching open skies
for air plane
moving up and down though the country town
passing over the cites so slow
slowly

but emma's late, emma's late, emma's late
and i
i can't wait
my dinners served by half past 8 and i
can't wait
i can't wait til 9 oooh no no noooo

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
