Emma Composer(s): Errol Brown - Tony Wilson
First release: Hot Chocolate - 1974
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 lying still and cold up on 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 I just can't keep on tryin' no more
Emily - Oh Emily - Emily
