i was barely six years old when i first heard him sing
but somehow i knew from that moment on
that it would be a lifetime thing
and id stand in front of a mirror
day and night
and id listen to every one of his records
and id repeat every word
and every note
till somehow i finally got it right
and i was determined
id wait for the day
that i could stand and sing in front of an audience
and maybe someoned come up to me and say
yknow you sound just like elvis
there was man
who gave the world his song
and the world stood still
to hear him sing
a simple man
who took his faith along
while all the world
proclaimed him king
now the king is gone
and oh what a reign
and the crown on his head
will remain
from a workin man
to royalty
to everlasting fame
the king is gone
the king is gone
long live his name
the was a man
who tasted sweet success
top40dborg
but still gave his hand
to help a friend
a lovin man
who shared his happiness
now the the king is gone
but there was a man
now the king is gone
and oh what a reign
and the crown on his head
long will remain
from a workin man
to royalty
to everlasting fame
the king is gone
oh the king is gone
long live his name
yeah the king is gone
oh the king is gone
long live
his name
gbye elvis
well miss yah
