Hotel Monte Vista - Patty Larkin

Well she came down from the mountains

On her only wedding day

And the water from the fountains

Tasted like the wine in May

At the Hotel Monte Vista

They waited for Emily

To marry her sweet mister

Joe Clark Riley was his name

80 dollars 80 dollars

For a three tiered wedding cake

In a long white veil and slippers

The ones her mama made

On the mantel fresh cut flowers

Two glasses for champagne

And Virginia played piano

I'll Be Loving You Always

Well the wedding party gathered

And the room was bathed in blue

They all turned their heads and wondered

At Joe Riley in a suit

And his father the traveling preacher

Stood there like how do you do

Everybody looked like Sunday

Sunday 1942

Down the stairway down the stairway

Step by step came Emily

Her face all pale and ashen

She looked away so longingly

In a heatbeat and a heartbeat

The Wedding March began

And she walked up with her daddy

And took Joe Riley's hand

Go tell mama go tell papa

I am not feeling well

I am running to meet my maker

And I have a tale to tell

There was me and there was Emmy

We were floating on a lake

And she cried out Lord forgive me

Such a true love to forsake

The Hotel Monte Vista sits high upon a hill

It's been there one hundred years now

It will stand one hundred still

Now the mountains now the mountains

Are a faded memory

The only thing I remember is the fairest Emily
