Urge Overkill - Emmaline lyrics

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'm 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 searching for that break

That never, ever came her way

You know, sometimes she'd come home so depressed

I'd hear her crying in the bedroom, feeling so distressed

And I remember back when she was four

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 had ever seen

It was cold and dark on that summer 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
