emmaline lyrics

We were together since we were far And when she said she'd be a movie queen, nobody left She was so pretty, Emma was a star in everyone's eyes A face like an angel, she could be anything Emmaline, Emma Emmaline, I'gonna write your name high on that silver screen Emmaline, Emma Emmaline, I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world had ever seen At seventeen, we were wedded And work day and night to earn our daily bread That never, ever came away And every day Emma would go out searchin' for that place You know, sometimes she come home so depressed, I hear her cry in the bedroom, fellin' so distressed An'I remember back when she was far To the words that used to make Emmaline come alive It was... I'gonna write your name high on that silver screen Emmaline, Emma Emmaline, Emmaline, Emma, Emmaline I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world had ever seen When I opened up the bedroom door To find her lain still and cold upon the bed A love letter lain on the bedroom floor It was cold an'dark in the summer night It read: "Darling, I love you, I tried so very hard not to leave you alone... But I just keep on living on dreams anymore, I just can't keep on trying no more" Emmaline Emmaline Emmaline
