Emma

We were together since we were five

She was so pretty

Emma was a star in everyone's eyes

And when she said she'd be a movie queen

Nobody laughed

A face like an angel

She could be anything

Emmaline

Emma, Emmaline

I'm gonna write your name high on that silver screen

Emmaline

Emma, Emmaline

I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen

At seventeen we were wed

I'd work day and night

To earn our daily bread

And every day Emma would go out

Searching for that play

That never, ever came her way

You know sometimes she'd come home

So depressed

I'd hear her crying in the back room

Feel so distressed

And I'd remember back when she was five

To the words that used to make

Emmaline come alive

It was :

"Emmaline,

Emma, Emmaline,

I'm gonna write your name high on that silver screen.

Emmaline,

Emma, Emmaline

I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen."

It was a cold and dark December night

When I opened up the bedroom door

To find her lying still and cold

Upon the bed

A love letter lying on the bedroom floor

It read :

"Darling I love you,

But I just can't keep on living on dreams no more.

I tried so very hard not to leave you alone.

I just can't keep on trying no more."

Emmaline ...

Aaargh, Emmaline ...

Aaargh ...

Emma, Emmaline ...

Aaargh ...

Emma, Emmaline ...
