Seventy-Six-Year-Old Hits the F Over Middle-C




Such a pretty song. First recorded by Simon and Garfunkel 51 years ago last Tuesday.

FOR EMILY, WHEREVER I MAY FIND HER
(Paul Simon)

What a dream I had
Pressed in organdy
Clothed in crinoline of smoky burgundy
Softer than the rain


I wandered empty streets down
Past the shop displays
I heard cathedral bells
Tripping down the alleyways
As I walked on

And when you ran to me, your
Cheeks flushed with the night
We walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight
I held your hand


And when I awoke and felt you warm and near
I kissed your honey hair with my grateful tears
Oh, I love you, girl
Oh, I love you
