Jolene And Emma Lyrics

JOLENE

Jolene jolene jolene jolene
I'm begging you please don't take my mane
Jolene  jolene jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

Your beauty is beyond compare with flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring your voice is soft as summer rain
And I cannot compete with you Jolene

He talk about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
>From crying when he calls your name Jolene
And I can easily understand
How you can easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me jolene

chorus

Well you could have your choice of man
But I could never love again
He's the only man for me jolene
I have to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
Whatever you decide to do
Jolene

chorus -etc


EMMA

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
With her face like an angel
She could be anything

CHORUS

Emmaline
Emma
Emmaline
I'm gonna write your name high on the silver screen
Emmaline
Emma
Emmaline
I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has everseen


At seventeen
We were wed
And I worked hard to earn our daily bread
And evrey day
Emma would go out searching for that play
That never, ever came her way
And sometimes she come home and she'd be so depressed
I'd hear her crying in the backroom and be so distressed
And I'd remember back when she was five
To the words that used to make Emmaline come alive
It was...

CHORUS

It was a cold and dark December night
When I opened up the bedroom door
To find her lying 
Cold and still upon the bed
A love letter lying on the bedroom floor
IT read,
"Darling I love you
But I just can't keep living on dreams no more
I've tried so hard not to leave you alone
But I just can't keep trying no more"

CHORUS
