Songs about "Emily"

Thanks guys - looking for an Emily song for my father daughter dance. Thanks for the ideas!

I was named after the song "Miss Emily's Picture" by John Conlee. But it's about heartbreak so I figured it wouldn't be the best to play at my wedding...yeah.

Seems like this thread is missing the Johnny Mandel and Johnny Mercer composition "Emily," title song of the film The Americanization of Emily, played at every old school jazz guitar gig ever. Here is Tony Bennett version:

Someone must have done a survey of the most-often used girls name in a song.

"Emily" would be quite high up on the list, I'm sure.

I click on this thread and the first song I thought of was Miss Emily's Picture by Jon Conlee, but I see it was mention, such a sad song.
