Emma

the sisters of mercy -Emma
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
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 has ever seen
At seventeen
We were wed
And I 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
And sometimes she come home
and she'd be so depressed
I'd hear her crying in the back room
and be so distressed
And I'd remember back way
when she was five
To the words that used to
make Emmaline come alive
It was
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 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 this dreams no more
I've tried so very hard
not to leave you alone
But I just can't keep on
trying no more
Ahh Emma
Emmaline
Ahh Emma
Emmaline
Ahh Emma
Noooooo
Ahh Emma
Noooooooooooo
