We were together since we were far

She was so pretty, Emma was a star in everyone's eyes

And when she said she'd be a movie queen, nobody left

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

And every day Emma would go out searchin' for that place

That never, ever came away

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...



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



It was cold an'dark in the summer night

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 read: "Darling, I love you,

But I just keep on living on dreams anymore,

I tried so very hard not to leave you alone...

I just can't keep on trying no more"
