SPOKEN:
I WAS BARELY
SIX YEARS OLD
WHEN I
FIRST HEARD HIM SING
AND SOMEHOW
FROM THAT MOMENT ON
I KNEW
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
AND EVERY NOTE
TILL I
FINALLY GOT
IT RIGHT
AND I WAS
DETERMINED THAT
I'D WAIT FOR
THE DAY THAT
THAT I COULD STAND
AND SING IN FRONT OF
AN AUDIENCE
AND MAYBE SOMEONE
WOULD COME UP TO ME
AND SAY
YOU KNOW
YOU SOUND
JUST LIKE ELVIS
THERE WAS A MAN
THAT GAVE THE WORLD
HIS SONG
AND THE WORLD
STOOD STILL
TO HEAR HIM SING
A SIMPLE MAN
THAT TOOK HIS
FAITH ALONG
WHILE ALL THE WORLD
PROCLAIMED HIM KING
NOW THE KING IS GONE
AND OH WHAT A REIGN
AND THE CROWN
ON HIS HEAD
WILL REMAIN
FROM A WORKING MAN
TO ROYALTY
TO EVERLASTING FAME
THE KING IS GONE
YEAH THE KING IS GONE
LONG LIVE HIS NAME
THERE WAS A MAN
WHO TASTED
SWEET SUCCESS
YET WHO GAVE
HIS HAND
TO HELP A FRIEND
A LOVING MAN
WHO SHARED
HIS HAPPINESS
NOW THE KING IS GONE
OH BUT THERE
WAS A MAN
NOW THE KING IS GONE
AND OH WHAT A REIGN
AND THE CROWN
ON HIS HEAD
OH WILL REMAIN
NOW A WORKING 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
GOODBYE ELVIS
WE WILL MISS YOU
