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 |
| Her face like an angel, she could be anything |
| Emmalene |
| Emma, Emmalene |
| I’m gonna write your name high on that silver screen |
| Emmalene |
| Emma, Emmalene |
| I’m gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen |
| At seventeen we were wed |
| And worked 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 feeling so distressed |
| And I’d remember back when she was five |
| To the words that used to make Emmalene come alive |
| It was Emmalene |
| Emma, Emmalene |
| I’m gonna write your name high on that silver screen |
| Emmalene |
| Emma, Emmalene |
| I’m gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen |
| It was cold and dark December night |
| When I opened the bedroom door |
| To find her lying still and cold up on 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 tryin' no more.» |
| Emmalene |
| Oh, Emmalene |
| Emmalene |
