[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Emily, can't you see
There's nothing you can do?
There's loving everywhere
But none for you
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Emily, can't you see
There's nothing you can do?
There's loving everywhere
But none for you
[Verse 3]
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
