Ooh, la, la, laOoh, la, la, la
Ooh, la, la, la
Ooh, la, la, la
Emily
And her love to be
Carved in a heart
On a berry tree
But it's only, only a little farewell love spell
Time to design a woman
Touch me
Oh wake me
Emily you ornament the earth
For me
Emily
You're the natural snow
The unstudied sea
You're a cameo
And I swear, I swear you were born
A weaver's lover born for the loom's desire
Move me
Oh sway me
Emily you ornament the earth
For me, for me
Emmie your mama's been a-callin' you
Ooh
Who stole
Mama's heart
And cuddled
In her garden?
Darlin' Emmie
La, la, la
Ooh, la, la, la
Ooh, la, la, la
Ooh, la, la, la
You're my friend
And I loved you
Emily
Emily
Emily
She got the the way to move me, Emmie
She got the the way to move me yeah
She got the the way to move me, Emmie
She got the the way to get up and move me
She got the the way to move me, Emmie
She got the the way to move me yeah
She got the the way to move me, Emmie
She got the the way to get up and move me
She got the the way to move me, Emmie
She got the the way to move me yeah
She got the the way to move me, Emmie
She got the the way to move me yeah

It's "oo, la, la, la" & not ooh
After touch me, It's "awake me" and not Oh wake. Your the natural snow is repeated but as "the natur'l snow." It's "Who...? Who stole..." and not Oh. Emily is refrained four times after "and I loved you." I think these are trivial; so I think a best is in order.
Emmie
It is undisputed that Maria Desiderio was the eventual life partner of Laura Nyro.
There is overwhelming evidence, albeit circumstantial, that the two women became enamored of each other around 1967. The Italians call it "Flamma" (flames - It describes a relationship between an older and younger woman). Laura was born October 18, 1947. Maria was born June 9, 1954.
Pete Johnson in his June 1968 review of ELI AND THE THIRTEENTH CONFESSION in COAST FM & FINE ARTS (page 50) commented about the song “Emily.” “There is a momentary shock at hearing a woman romancing another woman...” "Emmie" is about Maria. "Emmie your mamma's been a callin’ you.” “Who….? Who stole mamma's heart and cuddled in her garden, darlin’ Emmie?"
Havelock Ellis in his “Studies in the Psychology of Sex” Volume 1, Appendix B “The School-Friendships of Girls” pp. 868 et seq., p.870 identified various characters of “flames” different from mere friendships.
Some of these aspects are illustrated in “Emmie”: (5) “exaltation of the beloved’s qualities,” e.g. “you ornament the earth for me,” “the natural snow,” “the unstudied sea,” “you’re a cameo,” (7) “the absence of envy for the loved ones qualities,” e.g. “you’re a weaver’s lover,” “born for the loom’s desire,” (10) “the consciousness of doing a prohibited thing,“ e.g. "Emmie your Mamma's been a callin’ you,” (9) “The vanity with which some respond to “flame’ declarations,” e.g. “Who? Who stole momma's heart and cuddled in her garden, darlin’ Emmie,” and (6) “the habit of writing the beloved’s name everywhere," e.g. Emmie and Emily are recited at least a dozen times in the song.
