Soundtracks - Sisters of Mercy - Emma 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 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
