Elvis Presley
Long live "The King"
gone to soon before his time
man, he could sing
he sang and acted earning every nickle and dime
His voice so diverse
he was absolutely one of a kind
every teenager was so immersed,
when he sang"Always on My Mind"
Young and handsome till the day he died
although there have been sightings
women of all ages have cried
you can still catch a glimpse of him under Walmart lighting
His performances stayed with you
as he sang"Blue Suede Shoes"
and "Loving You"
but i guess he paid his dues
Obsessed with drugs
he lost the fight
and lost his life to those same drugs
on that dark night
From a small hick town
all the way to fame
then he fell down
leaving his name
ELVIS PRESLEY
Gone to Soon contest--
