Natalie Riccio Oh, Emmanuel lyrics

Emmanuel was a friend of mine,
and a little bit more from time to time.
But love like that, you best forget.

Now he's got a wife and a couple of kids.
He's got a house in the San Francisco hills.
And I'm still stuck in regret.

Oh, Emmanuel.
Let's not kid ourselves.

I knew right from the start,
There's no way in hell,
I knew deep in my heart,
This is never gonna end well.

Oh, but it's the nights like these
I need, Emmanuel.

Now lately, it has occurred to me,
That I never once loved him faithfully.
But I never once thought that he'd just get up and leave.


And as selfish as I am about to sound,
I still have to admit, I never hit the ground.
I never thought he could ever love someone
The way he loved me.

And so, Emmanuel,
I kid myself.

Cause I knew right from the start,
there's no way in hell.
I knew deep in my heart
this is never gonna end well.

Oh, but it's the nights like these
I need Emmanuel.

Sweet Sorrow
Loverman's gone now.
Sweet sorrow, Emmanuel.
