The summer is here at last 

The sky is overcast 

And no one brings a rose for Emily 

She watches her flowers grow 

While lovers come and go 

To give each other roses from her tree 

But not a rose for Emily... 

Emily, can't you see (how the sun is shining again) 

There's nothing you can do? 

There's loving everywhere But none for you... 

Her roses are fading now 

She keeps her pride somehow 

That's all she has protecting her from pain 

And as the years go by 

She will grow old and die 

The roses in her garden fade away 

Not one left for her grave 

Not a rose for Emily... 

Emily, can't you see (how the sun is shining again) 

There's nothing you can do? 

There's loving everywhere 

But none for you... 

Her roses are fading now 

She keeps her pride somehow 

That's all she has protecting her from pain 

And as the years go by 

She will grow old and die 

The roses in her garden fade away 

Not one left for her grave Not a rose for Emily...
