Emma

Emma was the lawman and I was the brave

We got in trouble, we'd never behave

And we'd run around all morning and rest in the shade

I remember where I stood telling Emma

we were best friends for good

 

We started school the inseparable pair

And I'd chase the boys who were pulling her hair

And she climbed up the tower accepting my dare

At the early age of eight I told Emma if she fell I'd be there

 

In time I would carry her books, that's when it began

I started to notice her looks and the sweat in my hand

 

Then there was a totally new game to play

We both gave our promise to never betray

And I was so sure we'd be married one day

At the early age of ten I loved Emma and I would 'til the end

 

One day she climbed up the tower, she kept looking down

The split-second lasted for hours 'til she lay on the ground

 

And right then I grew up in every way

I buried the child in me that day

But I guess not completely or I wouldn't say

that part of me believes that sweet Emma will come back someday

Yeah a part of me believes that sweet Emma will come back someday
