Emilia, Blow the Candles Out
Style: Swing big band

[Verse 1]
The wind grabs the cups off the table
Sends them spinning while we're still able
To catch our breath and raise a glass
You make every party stable

[Pre-chorus]
Something's lifting, something's rising
Nobody here needs much disguising
How we feel when you walk in

[Chorus]
Emilia, light the candles now
Somehow you always show us how
To turn a plain old Tuesday golden
Emilia, take your bow

[Verse 2]
Paper plates go sailing skyward
Nothing here is tame or wired down
You laugh and chase them through the grey
Turning chaos into a crown

[Pre-chorus]
Something's lifting, something's rising
Nobody here needs much disguising
How we feel when you walk in

[Chorus]
Emilia, light the candles now
Somehow you always show us how
To turn a plain old Tuesday golden
Emilia, take your bow

[Bridge]
However this year has bent you
However far the wind has sent you
You landed here, right where we are
That's the gift, that's plenty

[Chorus]
Emilia, light the candles now
Somehow you always show us how
To turn a plain old Tuesday golden
Emilia, take your bow

[Outro]
The cups will settle, the plates come down
But you're still the best thing found
