The King Is Gone

Ronnie Mcdowell


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 
Top40db.com
Top40db.net
Top40db.org.
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...
