Sisters Of Mercy - Jolene Lyrics
JOLENEChorus: Jolene jolene jolene joleneI'm begging of you please don't take my manJolene jolene jolene jolenePlease don't take him just because you canYour beauty is beyond compare with flaming locks of golden hairWith ivory skin and eyes of emerald greenYour smile is like a breath of spring your voice is soft like summer rainAnd I cannot compete with you JoleneHe talks about you in his sleepThere's nothing I can do to keepFrom crying when he calls your name JoleneAnd I can easily understandHow you can easily take my manBut you don't know what he means to me jolenechorusWell you could have your choice of menBut I could never love againHe's the only one for me joleneI have to have this talk with youMy happiness depends on youWhatever you decide to doJolenechorus -etcEMMAWe were together since we were fiveShe was so prettyEmma was a star in everyone's eyesAnd when she said she'd be a movie queenNobody laughedWith her face like an angelShe could be anythingCHORUSEmmalineEmmaEmmalineI'm gonna write your name high on the silver screenEmmalineEmmaEmmalineI'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has everseenAt seventeenWe were wedAnd I worked hard to earn our daily breadAnd evrey dayEmma would go out searching for that playThat never, ever came her wayAnd sometimes she come home and she'd be so depressedI'd hear her crying in the backroom and be so distressedAnd I'd remember back when she was fiveTo the words that used to make Emmaline come aliveIt was...CHORUSIt was a cold and dark December nightWhen I opened up the bedroom doorTo find her lyingCold and still upon the bedA love letter lying on the bedroom floorIT read,"Darling I love youBut I just can't keep living on dreams no moreI've tried so hard not to leave you aloneBut I just can't keep trying no more"CHORUS
