Hot Chocolate - Emma (74) 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
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
has ever seen.
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.
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
has ever seen.
It was cold and dark
December night
When I opened up the bedroom door
To find her Iying still and
cold upon the bed;
A love letter Iying 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 tryin' no more.
