Elvis Is Back In Memphis

Elvis is back in Memphis where it started;
his poor heart got sick from hurt,
and stopped beating 
on August the sixsteenth...
the day it ended
for the rock idol!
Elvis's only and true devotion was Priscilla,
yes,it was Priscilla!

Elvis will remain
an american legend... 
adored by all;
Priscilla will remember him
with deep grief;
even though life 
has been unfair
to young Elvis,
we feel sorry,
yes, we feel sorry
for what it has done 
to him over the years!
What that the prize he had
to pay for his fame?

Elvis is back in Memphis...
where lights and flowers adorn him;
Elvis is back in Memphis...
there thousands of fans bade hin good-bye!

Elvis is back in Memphis,
but his memory will live on...
and will give us inspiration;
Elvis is back in Memphis!
