Emma

Written by：Errol Brown/T. Wilson

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

Her 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 this world has ever seen

At seventeen we were wed

And worked 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 feeling 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 cold and dark December night

When I opened the bedroom door

To find her lying still and cold up on 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 tryin' no more

Emmalene

Oh Emmalene

Emmalene
