Urge Overkill Emmaline lyrics

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
Emmaline, Emma-Emmaline
I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen

At seventeen we were wed
And worked day and night to earn our daily bread
And every day Emma would go out searchin' for that play
That never ever came her away
You know sometimes she'd come home so depressed
I'd hear her cryin' in the back room feelin' 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
Emmaline, Emma-Emmaline
I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen”

‘Twas a cold and dark December 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…
“Darlin', I love you
But I just can't keep on livin' on dreams no more
I tried so very hard not to leave you alone
I just can't keep on tryin' no more”

Emmaline!
Ohhh, Emmaline!!
Ohhhh, Emmaline!!
