Emily duduk tepat di sampingku
Five days a week in the same bus seat
Lima hari seminggu di tempat duduk bis yang sama
For a girl she was pretty cool
Untuk cewek dia keren banget
She wore an old ball cap, hated lace
Dia mengenakan tutup bola tua, membenci renda
Played a mean shortstop and second base
Memainkan shortstop rata-rata dan basis kedua
Never missed a day of Sunday school
Jangan pernah melewatkan hari sekolah Minggu
And I never told a soul back then
Dan aku tidak pernah menceritakannya pada saat itu
But Emily Harper was my best friend
Tapi Emily Harper adalah sahabat terbaikku
We carved our names on an old oak limb
Kami mengukir nama kami di pohon ek tua
On the bank of the creek where we used to swim
Di tepi sungai tempat kami biasa berenang
A farmer’s son and a preacher’s only daughter
Seorang anak petani dan satu-satunya putri pengkhotbah
We ran barefoot through the garden gate
Kami berlari tanpa alas kaki melewati gerbang kebun
All afternoon we’d laugh and play
Sepanjang sore kami akan tertawa dan bermain
‘Til the sun went down on me
“Aku akan menembaki saya
And Emily Harper
Dan Emily Harper
About the time I turned sixteen
Kira-kira saat aku berusia enam belas tahun
I noticed Emily’s eyes were green
Kulihat mata Emily berwarna hijau
And how they shined when I made her laugh
Dan bagaimana mereka bersinar saat aku membuatnya tertawa
I like it when her hair was down
Aku suka saat rambutnya turun
I hated other guys around
Aku membenci orang lain
I played it cool but I had it bad
Saya bermain keren tapi saya buruk
Lord, her daddy had a fit
Tuhan, ayahnya sudah bugar
When he caught me stealing my first kiss
Saat dia menangkapku mencuri ciuman pertamaku
We carved a heart on that old oak limb
Kami mengukir hati pada anggota badan pohon ek tua itu
On the bank of the creek where we used to swim
Di tepi sungai tempat kami biasa berenang
A farmer’s son and a preacher’s only daughter
Seorang anak petani dan satu-satunya putri pengkhotbah
We used to sneak off in my daddy’s car
Kami biasa menyelinap di mobil ayahku
Sit on the hood and count the stars
Duduklah di kap mesin dan hitung bintang
‘Til the sun came up on me and Emily Harper
“Aku akan menemuiku dan Emily Harper
It all seems just like yesterday
Semuanya nampak seperti kemarin
We grew up but some things never change
Kami tumbuh tapi beberapa hal tidak pernah berubah
We still hold hands by that old oak limb
Kami masih berpegangan tangan dengan anggota badan pohon ek tua itu
On the bank of the creek where we used to swim
Di tepi sungai tempat kami biasa berenang
A farmer’s son and a preacher’s only daughter
Seorang anak petani dan satu-satunya putri pengkhotbah
She sure did make a lovely bride
Dia yakin memang membuat pengantin wanita cantik
We vowed to grow old side by side
Kami bersumpah untuk tumbuh tua berdampingan
‘Til the sun goes down on me
“Kalau matahari terbenam di atasku
And Emily Harper
Dan Emily Harper
Emily Harper
Emily Harper
Me and Emily Harper
Saya dan Emily Harper
