Emma Lyrics - Sisters Of Mercy

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 

With her face like an angel 

She could be anything 

Emmaline 

Emma 

Emmaline 

I'm gonna write your name high on the 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 hard 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 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 the 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 

Cold and still upon the bed 

A love letter lying on the bedroom floor 

IT read, 

'Darling I love you 

But I just can't keep living on dreams no more 

I've tried so hard not to leave you alone 

But I just can't keep trying no more'
