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
 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 worked day and night to earn our daily bread
 And everyday, 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 go on living on dreams no more
 I tried so very hard not to leave you alone
 But I just can't keep on trying no more
 Emmaline
