I still remember our first sunset, a boy just livin’ out his dreams
And a blue-eyed girl who just turned seventeen
Down by the river chasin’ bullfrogs, pantlegs rolled up to our knees
And like the water, our love was strong and deep
Workin’ two shifts at the sawmill, paid for a shiny little ring
And you cried the night I got down on one knee
I built a cabin out of pine logs in a grove white oak trees
Then when times got hard, you got hard to please
Emma my dear, full of hopes and dreams and fears
A home and little family we have started
Emma my dear, things arеn’t as bad as they appear
How could I end up alonе and brokenhearted?
Still the one that’s feelin’ guilty as you pack your things and leave
And the sawdust filled the pockets of my jeans
I turned to whiskey, wine, and brandy, and a million other things
But nothin’s strong enough to put my mind at ease
This empty cabin just gets colder with each letter I receive
And I cry like hell with each one that I read
Tells me that you’ve found another and he meets your every need
What happened to the heart that once belonged to me?
Emma my dear, I don’t know what brought us here
Have our childhood memories all been forgotten?
Emma my dear, I’m reminded of the years
Before our cabin timbers went to rottin’
Emma my dear, how I long to hold you near
Start a new life where the old one sadly ended
Emma my dear, I have cried a thousand tears
For my broken heart will never again be mended
Oh, Emma my dear
