the king and i

16 august 1977

the king past away and sang his way to heaven,

such a tragic life as he stood in his blue swead shoes

trying to be happy but feeling the moody blue´s,

he sang all over the world and made everybody care

because deep down in his heart he´s just your teddy bear,

o Elvis love me long please love me tender

i used to write to him but my letter´s where returned to sender,

but sometimes the king was sad and feeling very low 

maybe he was thinking of when he lived in the ghetto,

but we are your fans we will help you , we will 

i will pray with you and cry with you in the chaple,

but time was slipping away it was like you where lost in the fog 

popping pill´s day and night and acting like a hound dog,

the abuse of drugs did it job and i dont mean to be un kind

everybody worried for you all had suspicious mind´s,

sweet Elvis are you lonely, and can i hold you tight ?

are you all alone  are you lonsome tonight,

but he tried to save himself, it´s now or never 

but sadley it was never to be  he could not get bettet ,

although you are gone we remember an Elvis that´s true 

we will alway´s remember the wonder of you ,

you sang your way through citie´s hall´s and alley´s 

now at last Elvis Presley you have peace in the valley,

we will celebrate all that you did bring 

so for the last time ladie´s and gentleman  Elvis has left the building . R :I :P
