MISS EMILY (Verlaine)

Day after day, I heard your voice,
In the silence, burning me up,
Burning me up,
Emily
I worship you
You are in my dreams.

You don't know me, or my face,
But I like to work around your place
I'll be your handyman,
I'll be your handyman,
Until the sun goes down.

I'm working hard
Till my debt's been paid,
Till my debt's been paid.

Day after day, Miss Emily,
I think of you, so fine,
So fine.

You don't know me, or my face,
But I like to work around your place
Miss Emily,
Will you take me on?
I'll work real hard
Until the sun goes down.
I'll be your handyman,
Until the sun goes down,
I'll be your handyman.
You don't know me, or my face,
But I like to work around your place
Miss Emily,
I'll work real hard
Miss Emily, Until the sun goes down.
