Emma Marie

Sweet, sweet Emma Marie

She stood in her white dress watching the sea

The cold breeze blew through her black hair, stinging her cheeks that were once so fair

Carved in her heart were scars she couldn't erase

Left by a love she couldn't replace

I'm sorry, he told her

My sweet, sweet Emma Marie

But ours is a love that could never be

For you can't swim and my life is the sea

She begged and she pleaded

PLease, my love, stay here with me

He had told her that he loved her

That they had a bond that could never break

Softly he kissed her up her face

Leaving heartache in his wake as he sailed from the bay

Tears stained her cheeks as she remembered that fateful day

She was left with a pain that wouldn't fade away

Holding his picture to her chest, she gripped her white dress, and stepped from the bay

Their love forever united by the waves
