Ronnie McDowell - The King Is Gone lyrics

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 I'd stand in front of a mirror... Day and night And I'd listen to every one of his records And I'd repeat every word... And every note... ... till, somehow, I finally got it right... And I was determined... I'd wait for the day... That I could stand and sing in front of an audience And maybe someone'd come up to me and say... Y'know, 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 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... G'bye Elvis... We'll miss ya...
