lyrics

Emma (With Such Small Hands)

Emma when I heard you & Stevie were for leaving
I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry
But London life had left you cut & bleeding
And where do you go when your pretty dreams have died?

Losing friends from London can be woeful
But I know in my heart you had to get away
You needed a land & place that was more soulful
And Stevie always dreamed of Cardiff Bay.

Chorus
And I know that your lion’s heart will meet all life’s demands
But Emma not even the rain has such small hands
And I know that your lion’s heart will meet all life’s demands
But Emma not even the rain has such small hands.

When Stevie thought he had really lost you
When your poor & tired heart lost its beat
It was your Irish pride that came to save you
For an Irish heart can never spell retreat.

When you had your child it was a blessing
The miracle of a life that came to you
And though London without you both is depressing
I know you & Stevie will stay true.

Chorus

(Instrumental)

Chorus

I know you both love the life you’re living
And your daughter is the pleasure of your days
May you always keep loving, laughing & giving
And think of me far away from Cardiff Bay.

Chorus
