Emma

Emma - Top of the Poppers

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

Emmalene Emma

Emmalene

I'm gonna write your name high

On that silver screen

Emmalene

Emma

Emmalene

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

Every 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

Emmalene come alive

It was Emmalene

Emma

Emmalene

I'm gonna write your name high

On that silver screen

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 dreams no more

I tried so very hard not

To leave you alone

But I just can't keep on trying no more"
