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...
