We were together since we were five
  She was so pretty
  Emma was a star in ev'ryone's eyes.
  And when she said she'd be a movie queen
  Nobody laughed
  Her face like an angel
  She could be anything.
  
  Emily. Emma
  Emily
  I'm gonna write your name high on that silver screen.
  Emily
  Emma
  Emily
  
  I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever set
  
  At seventeen we were wed
  And worked day and night to earn our daily bread.
  And ev' ry day
  Emma would go out searching for that play
  That never ever came her way.
  
  
  You know
  sometimes she'd come home so depressed
  I'd hear her crying in the back room
  
  Feel so distressed.
  And I'd remember back
  when she was five
  
  To the words that used to make
  Emily come alive.
  
  Emily
  Emma
  Emily
  
  It was cold and dark
  December night
  
  When I opened the bedroom door
  
  To find her Iying still and cold up on the bed;
  A love letter Iying on the bedroom floor
  
  It read:
  
  Darling, I love youBut I just can't keep on living on dreams no moreI tried so very hard not to leave you alone.I just can't keep on tryin' no more
  
  Emily - Oh Emily - Emily
