KITCHEN STORIES: 08. Emilia (carol laula)
NO-ONE KNOWS WHERE EMILIA CAME FROM
BUT SHE CAME HERE LAUGHING WITH HER SMILE
SHE TOOK HER CHANCES IN A BAR CALLED 33
AND THEN SHE DANCED, IN THE OLD FASHIONED WAY
OUT OF THE DARKNESS, THE SWEETEST ANGEL
INTO THE HARSH LIGHT OF DAY
CARRIED YOUR PRIDE INTO PERFECT DANGER
NOW YOUR FAMILY HAVE ALL BUT GONE AWAY
AND YOU KNOW, IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY
NO-ONE KNOWS WHERE EMILIA CAME FROM
BUT SHE LEFT A LETTER TO TELL THEM SHE WAS GOING
NOW THEY MOURN THE PASSING OF THEIR CHILD
AND THEY LAY THEIR FLOWERS ON AN EMPTY GRAVE
OUT OF THE PRAYER, CAME THE ANSWER
THERE IN THE STONE, YOU SAW THE WAY
TAKING THEIR WORD AND MAKING IT YOUR WORD
NOW YOUR FAMILY HAVE ALL BUT GONE AWAY
AND YOU KNOW, IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY
NO-ONE KNOWS WHERE EMILIA SHE CAME FROM
OR THE SADNESS IN HER SMILE
SHE TOOK HER CHANCES WITH SOME GOOD OLD FASHIONED DANCES
NOW HER FAMILY HAVE ALL BUT GONE AWAY
AND YOU KNOW, IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY
