From the moment you came into this world,
You lit the dark like a flame unfurled.
Every smile, every laugh, every song youâd sing,
Turned a drive to school into a rock-ânâ-roll dream.
âDad, you sing the boy part, Iâll sing the girl, partâ youâd say,
Off-key but perfect in every way.
Those mornings still echo inside my soul,
Every note made this broken heart whole.
Chorus:
Youâre our greatest song, our forever flame,
Every chord I play still whispers your name.
From the stands to the stars, your cheer rolls on,
Emily, youâll always be our greatest song.
You drove Paw Pawâs cart like a runaway dream,
Wrecked it laughing, still sweet as a queen.
Grandpa Rick was clay in your hands,
Love like that, the kind that stands.
From burnt-orange pride to victory calls,
Your âWooooo!â still shakes these walls.
Dallas Stars, Rangers, Cowboys too â
Every team was brighter âcause of you.
Chorus:
Youâre our greatest song, our forever flame,
Every chord I play still whispers your name.
From the stands to the stars, your cheer rolls on,
Emily, youâll always be our greatest song.
Freebird was playing when you found your new friend,
A kitty in the dark, a love without end.
You named him Lenny, with Aaron by your side,
Two hearts, one road, one beautiful ride.
You taught us laughter, you taught us grace,
You taught us love canât be replaced.
Though youâre gone, your light burns on,
In every heart that you shined upon.
Final Chorus:
Youâre our greatest song, our forever flame,
Every tear I cry still calls your name.
From the stars to the ice, from the field to the sky,
Your woooo still echoes, itâll never die.
Emily, youâll always be our greatest song.
