Miss Emily's Picture Lyrics

   This song has long been one of my favorite personal songs just like summer the first time by Bobby Goldsboro of my first love but this song is definitely to me a very extremely emotional song as when I hear the song I just simply put my wife's name in there her name was Miss Billie. And that's the way I sing it and it really years me up she passed away at 59 was a registered nurse for 26 years I lost her in 4 days she has now been gone two years and 6 months and it seems like forever and she meant everything to me you just learn to live with it and accept it God bless all thanks for reading Michael.

   An article in The Miami Herald several years ago stated Miss Emily ran a bar on an island in the Bahamas, some 12 miles down the beach. You could walk or catch a ride on the boat that delivered supplies.True or not?
