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
Aah..
Emmaline
Aah..
Emmaline
