Lyrics

(Brown/wilson)

We were together since we were four
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'gonna write your name high on that silver screen
Emmaline, emma emmaline
I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world had 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 searchin' for that break
That never, ever came her way
You know, sometimes she'd come home so depressed
I'd hear her cryin'in the bedroom, feelin' so distressed
An'i remember back when she was four
To the words that used to make emmaline come alive
It was..

Emmaline, emma, emmaline
I'gonna write your name high on that silver screen
Emmaline, emma emmaline
I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world had ever seen

It was cold an'dark on that summer night
When I opened up the bedroom door
To find her lyin' still and cold upon the bed
A love letter lyin' on the bedroom floor
It read: "darling, I love you
But I just can't keep living on dreams anymore
I tried so very hard not to leave you alone..
I just can't keep on trying no more"

Emmaline
