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 |
