The King Is Gone 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, 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... Y'know, you sound just like ELVIS... * * * * * 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... Now the king is gone ... And, oh, what a reign... And a 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... 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... 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 Yeah, 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 yah... |

lMany years ago, in the late 70's or early 80's, my husband and I were at the Ohio State Fair down in Columbus. Ronnie's bus was sitting there and even though he wasn't playing at the grand stand then, he sang his heart out for a crowd of us that was in that area.. If I recall correctly, it was raining. We didn't care. Ronnie McDowell was singing for us!!!dd your text. |
