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
