| I had a very old friend who never knew about me
|
| He never knew but he gave me everything I need
|
| A way of life that shows in everything I say and do
|
| He gave me enough to sing the blues
|
| Just a country boy from Memphis Tennessee
|
| No one could have known what fate meant him to be
|
| Became a voice that could ring with every feeling ever known
|
| But no words could tell just what he meant to me
|
| Oh I was only ten years old
|
| But it seems like yesterday
|
| When I first heard him on the radio
|
| And his music made me dance all night
|
| And his sad songs made me cry
|
| I’ll always feel the same way 'til I die
|
| And his music made me dance all night
|
| And his sad songs made me cry
|
| I’ll always feel the same way 'til I die
|
| I was one of the crowd who worshiped him
|
| I was one of the crowd who told him he was king
|
| I was one of the crowd he had to prove himself to time and time again
|
| And no mortal man could ever stand the strain
|
| Oh I was only ten years old
|
| But it seems like yesterday
|
| When I first heard him on the radio
|
| And his music made me dance all night
|
| And his sad songs made me cry
|
| I’ll always feel the same way 'til I die
|
| I’ll always feel the same way 'til I die
|
| I’ll always feel the same way 'til I die
|
| I’ll always feel the same way 'til I die |
