"Dla Emillir" to piosenka napisana przez Poula Simon'a. To dziesiąta ścieżka z trzeciego albumu nagranego przez Simone &Garfunkel w 1966 roku o nazwie "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme".
Paul Simon powiedział, że to nie jest piosenka o Emilii, a o wierze. Natomiast piosenka "Overs" ( z albumu Bookends) jest o utracie tej wiary.
Pomimo, że piosenka nie stała sie hitem (znajdowała się na stronie B, na singlu "A hazy Shade o Winter"), to wersja koncertowa znalazła się na krążku "The Greatest Hits" w 1972 roku. Wersja koncertowa znalazła się też na stronie B singla "America" w 1972 roku i osiągnęła 53 miejsce na liście przebojów Billboard Hot 100 (piosenka ze strony A była na 97 miejscu)
Piosenkę spiewało wielu artystów: Glenn Yarbrough (piosenka tytułowa z albumu "For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her", 1967), Johnny Rivers (album "Rewind", 1967), The Arbors (album "The Arbors Featuring I Can't Quit Her - The Letter", 1968), Ricky Nelson (album "Perspective", 1969), Paul Desmond (album "Bridge over Troubled Water", 1969), Cliff Richard (album "Sincerely Cliff", 1969), David Essex (album "Rock On", 1973), John Frusciante (na występie Red Hot Chili Peppers) and The Czars (album "Sorry I Made You Cry", 2006).

The good feelings generated by their appearance on the Grammys in 2003 led to another thaw in their relationship. Soon, Simon and Garfunkel launched a two-month long reunion tour of the United States (and Toronto, Canada), which ran from October 16 and culminating in Tampa on December 21, 2003. Entitled Old Friends, their first tour in over twenty years included forty shows in twenty-eight cities and featured special guests The Everly Brothers. The tour featured in its opening video montage a short series of clips and photos taken during the day leading up to the concert around the venue. They performed "Hey, Schoolgirl", which they said was the first song they had written and recorded together. At the tour concert at Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, NJ, they performed "Leaves That Are Green" in place of "Song for the Asking", which had been on their set list for the other concerts on this tour, following an announcement that they had not played it in concert since 1967. They also played "Leaves That Are Green" at concerts in Boston after making a similar announcement.

The success of the first Old Friends tour led to an encore in June and July 2004 with over 25 shows, this time also in Europe. In July 2004, they completed the tour with a flourish, with a finale at the Colosseum in Rome before an audience which, according to the Mayor of Rome, exceeded 600,000—even larger than the audience at the famous 1981 Central Park concert.

A live CD and DVD from their Old Friends tour was released in late 2004. It featured a "new" studio duo song, "Citizen of the Planet", one of the songs from the rejected 1983 reunion album that did not originally feature Garfunkel's vocal participation.

In 2007, PBS hosted the first Gershwin Awards, at which Paul Simon was honored. Simon introduced Garfunkel (for a cameo appearance) as "my partner in arguments" and the two sang "Bridge over Troubled Water" together.

Columbia/Legacy announced the September 18, 2007 release of Live 1969, which was said to feature recently discovered masters recorded on their 1969 tour. The album is now available through Starbucks. Most of the arrangements remain virtually unchanged. That tour was their last for over a decade, immediately preceding the release of the 1970 album Bridge over Troubled Water. The tour was recorded preparing for a subsequent live album, but the release of the live album did not happen, until now, as reported in Billboard.

On February 13, 2009, Simon and his band re-opened New York's legendary Beacon Theatre, which had been closed for seven months for a renovation. As an encore, Simon brought out "[his] old friend" Art Garfunkel. They sang 3 songs: "Sound of Silence", "The Boxer", and "Old Friends".

On April 2, 2009, the duo announced a tour of Australia, New Zealand and Japan for June/July 2009. On October 29--30, they participated together in the 25th anniversary of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concerts at New York's Madison Square Garden. Other artists on the bill included Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, U2, Metallica, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Crosby, Stills & Nash and Eric Clapton.

[Paul Simon mówi]
" For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her"

To nie piosenka o Emilii.

To piosenka o wierze.

"Overs", którą zaśpiewamy po "Emily,"
jest z kolei o utraconej wierze.

[Art Garfunkel śpiewa]
Ach, jaki miałem sen

Owinięty w cienką tkaninę

Ubrany w krynolinę

W kolorze lekkiego wina

Lekkiego jak deszcz

Błąkałem się po pustych ulicach

Mijałem wystawy sklepów

Dźwięk koscielnych dzwonów

Unosił się w alejkach

Kiedy tak szedłem

Gdy biegłaś do mnie, twe

Policzki zarumieniły się barwą nocy

Szliśmy po oszronionych polach

Wśród jałowców i świateł lamp

Trzymałem twoją dłoń

Gdy się obudziłem

Poczułem twą bliskość i ciepło

I ucałowałem twe cudowne włosy

Roniąc łzę wdzęczności

Dziewczyno, kocham cię

Kocham cię

[Oklaski]
