The Smile of Elvis

Jim Lea


You ready?

If I could smile the smile of Elvis
Then I could smile into your arms
If I could smile the smile of Elvis
I could blow mans into your charm

If I could smile the smile of Elvis
Then I could walk into the Sun
If I could smile the smile of Elvis
I’d become, become someone

If I could play guitar like Django
If I was real like Jimmy Dean
If I could be the cool of Brando
Then I could really live the dream

If I could smile the smile of Elvis
Then I could walk into the Sun
If I could smile the smile of Elvis
I’d become, become someone
Become someone

If I could waltz or do the tango
Walking on air like Fred Astaire
If I could smile the smile of Elvis
Then maybe

Then you’ll see
That I live in a place that’s less ordinary
Smile like a king
Am I complicated, overrated, now?

If I could smile the smile of Elvis
Be on reality TV
If I could smile the smile of Elvis
Then maybe I could be me

Smile the smile
Smile
