Emmaline
We were together since we were five
She was so pretty, 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
'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 so distressed
And I'd remember back when we were five
To the words that used to make Emmaline come alive
It was
Emmaline, Emma, Emmaline
'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 cold and dark December night
When I opened the bedroom door
To find her lying still and cold upon the bed
A 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 hard not to leave you alone
I just can't keep on tryin' no more".
Emmaline, Emma, Emmaline
'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
Emmaline (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Emmaline (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Emmaline (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Emmaline (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
She was so pretty, 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
'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

And every day Emma would go out searching for that play

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
