Sérgio Luiz Gallina

Lançado em 1971, Every Good Boy Deserves Favour é o sétimo álbum da Moody Blues, que tem a única faixa composta por todos os cinco membros da banda (Procession). O disco atingiu o primeiro lugar nas paradas britânicas e ficou três semanas em segundo lugar nos EUA. Emily's Song foi composta por John Lodge para sua filha recém-nascida.

Lovely to know the warmth you're smile can bring to me

I want to tell you but the words you do not know

Sing me a lullaby of songs you cannot write

And I will listen for there's beauty where there's love

----

And in the morning of my life

And in the evening of my day

I will try to understand in what you say

----

River's of endless tides have passed beneath my feet

And all too soon they had me standing on my own

Then when my eyes were closed you opened them for me

And now we journey thro' our lives to what will be

----

And in the morning of my life

And in the evening of my day

I will try to understand in what you say

Through all that live can give to you

Only true love will see you through

And will stand beside you now in what you say

----

And in the morning of my life

And in the evening of my day

I will try to understand in what you say

----

Take me into your world alone I can not go

For I've been here so long you're leaving me behind

Walk with me now into your land of fairy tales

And open up that book of pages in my mind

And open up that book of pages in my mind...
