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 

Emmaline
Emma, Emmaline
I'm gonna write your name high on that silver screen
I'm gonna make you the biggest star this 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
Emmaline come alive
It was: 

Emmaline
Emma, Emmaline
I'm gonna write your name high on that silver screen
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" 

Emmaline
Oh Emmaline (2x)
Emma, Emmaline
Emmaline
Oh
Emmaline (2x)
