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 seen
At seventeen we were wed And I worked day and night to earn our daily bread. And every day Emma would go out searching for that play That never ever came her way.
