Emma (1993 version) Lyrics

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

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
his 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
Feel 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 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.

Emmalene ...
Aaargh, Emmalene ...
Aaargh ...
Emma, Emmalene ...
Aaargh ...
Emma, Emmalene ...
