Emma Songtext
von Steve Harley

We were together since we were five
So pretty, Emma was a star in everyone′s eyes
When she said she'd be a movie queen
Nobody laugh, face like an angel, could be anything

Emmeline, Emma, Emmeline
I′m gonna write your name high on that sliver screen
Emmeline, Emma, Emma, Emmeline
Gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen

At 17, we were wed
Worked day and night to earn our daily bread
And everyday, Emma would go out searching for that play
That never, ever came her way


Emmeline, Emma, Emmeline
I'm gonna write your name high on that sliver screen
Emmeline, Emma, Emmeline
Gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen, yeah

Was a cold and dark December night
Went over to the bedroom door to find her lying still
Cold upon the bed, love letter lying on the bed and floor
It read, "Darling, I love you
But I just can't keep on living on dreams no more
Tried so very hard not to leave you alone
But I just can′t keep on trying no more"

Emmeline, Emma, Emma, Emmeline
I′m gonna write your name high on that sliver screen
Emmeline, Emma, Emmeline
Gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen

Mm, mm-mm, mm, mm-mm
Mm, mm-mm, mm, mm-mm
Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah
