The King Is Gone

[Intro]
I was barely six years old when I first heard him sing
And 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
Until I finally got it right
And I was determined that I'd wait for the day
That I could stand and sing in front of an audience
And maybe someone would come up to me and say
"You know, you sound just like Elvis."

[Verse 1]
There was a 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

[Chorus]
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
Yeah, the King is gone
But long live his name

[Verse 2]
There 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 King is gone
But there was a man

[Chorus]
Now the King is gone
And, oh, what a reign
And the crown on his head all will remain
From a workin' man to royalty
To everlasting fame
The King is gone (The King is gone)
Yeah, the King is gone
Long live his name

[Outro]
Yeah, the King is gone (The King is gone)
Oh, the King is gone
Long live his name
Goodbye, Elvis
We'll miss you
