I was barely six years old when I first heard him sing
And somehow I knew, from that moment on
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 every note
Until I finally got it right
And I was determined that I'd wait for the day
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 who gave the world his song
And the world stood still to hear him sing
A simple man who 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 workin' man to royalty
To everlasting fame
The King is gone
Yeah, the King is gone
But long live his name

There was a man who tasted sweet success
But still gave his hand to help a friend
A lovin' man who shared his happiness
Now the King is gone
But there was a man

Now the King is gone
And, oh, what a reign
And the crown on his head all will remain
From a workin' man to royalty
To everlasting fame
The King is gone (the King is gone)
Yeah, the King is gone
Long live his name

Yeah, the King is gone (the King is gone)
Oh, the King is gone
Long live his name
Goodbye, Elvis
We'll miss you
