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's 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's 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...
