Back in time with the King. |
A geenie has granted me this wish An opportunnity I couldn't dare to resist So much for us to share; so much for us to discuss Know your answers; your secrets with me you can trust. You taught the world to shake rattle and roll Wouldn't you have liked to grow old? You sang Return to Sender then went on day long benders Your Mother called you Elvis The World called you King I've heard it said your heart held love for only one How did you feel when that world became undone? Was it easy to loose your soul For a life of Rock and Roll? Was the stage a place you felt safe knowing that Heartbreak Hotel was only a bus ride away When the crowd went wild, every mother woman and child Was the rush triumphant and glorious Or did long for the stillness of Memphis We couldn't help falling in love with you Becuase we knew you loved us too. There was magic in your smile What a shame we knew you for such a short while. In life you may have been All Shook up Sacrificing much; A hunk of Burning Love In death, may you find peace And comfort from above I am thankful for the time you were here Thankful for the time we shared When you hear Love Me Tender Know that I still care. 31 Lines 01/25/2012 Writers Cramp entry |
