We were together since we were far
  She was so pretty, Emma was a star in everyone's eyes
  And when she said she'd be a movie queen, nobody left
  A face like an angel, she could be anything
    Emmaline, Emma Emmaline,
  I'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 wedded
  And work day and night to earn our daily bread
  And every day Emma would go out searchin' for that place
  That never, ever came away
  You know, sometimes she come home so depressed,
  I hear her cry in the bedroom, fellin' so distressed
  An'I remember back when she was far
  To the words that used to make Emmaline come alive
  It was...
    Emmaline, Emma, Emmaline
  I'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 an'dark in the summer night
  When I opened up the bedroom door
  To find her lain still and cold upon the bed
  A love letter lain on the bedroom floor
  It read: "Darling, I love you,
  But I just keep on living on dreams anymore,
  I tried so very hard not to leave you alone...
  I just can't keep on trying no more"
