[Verse 1] We were together since we were five She was so pretty Emma was a star in everyones eyes And when she said shed be a movie queen Nobody laughed Her face like an angel, she could be anything [Chorus] Emmalene Emma, Emmalene Im gonna write your name high on that silver screen Emmalene Emma, Emmalene Im gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen [Verse 2] 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 shed come home so depressed Id hear her crying in the back room feeling so distressed And Id remember back when she was five To the words that used to make Emmalene come alive [Chorus] It was Emmalene Emma, Emmalene Im gonna write your name high on that silver screen Emmalene Emma, Emmalene Im gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen [Verse 3] 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 cant keep on living on dreams no more I tried so very hard not to leave you alone I just cant keep on tryin no more. [Outro] Emmalene Oh, Emmalene Emmalene
