Lyrics Elvis and Marilyn - Leon Russell

Elvis and Marilyn

Well Elvis was handsome, his hair was black as night
Marilyn was the queen of the screen, no one could hold her tight
Elvis and Marilyn spent many nights alone
With their dreams and memories on silent telephones
Elvis and Marilyn never fell in love
Elvis and Marilyn never shared the stars above
Marilyn was magic, her hair was bright as gold
Elvis was magnetic, he hated growing old
Elvis and Marilyn kept under lock and key
They never went out dancing, no picnic by the sea
Elvis and Marilyn though they never fell in love
Elvis and Marilyn never shared the stars above
Whoa he wore his leather jacket
And she wore a velvet glove
And never fell in love
Elvis was a father, he never had a son
Marilyn didn’t have a daughter, Lord how she wanted one
Elvis and Marilyn, I wonder if they met
The fact that I will never know is one thing I regret
Elvis and Marilyn never fell in love
Elvis and Marilyn
Elvis and Marilyn whoa they never fell in love
Elvis and Marilyn
Elvis and Marilyn never fell in love
