Pieces of My Life



A water glass full of whiskey
And women that I never knew too well
Lord, the things I've seen and done
Most of which I'd be ashamed to tell

I don't know how it started
But that's what makes a man a man, I guess
Now I'm holdin' on to nothing'
Tryin' to forget the rest

I'm lookin' back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away
Well, I've found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But I guess I threw the best parts away
Lord away, away

Playing the bars, playing like a star
Anything to get a name
Carryin' on, living on songs
My friends wrote to me to sing

I'm lookin' back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away
Well, I've found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But I guess I threw the best parts away
Away, away

Lord, the pieces of my life
They're everywhere, they're everywhere
And the one I miss most of all
Is you and you know who

Lookin' back on my life, Lord
To see if I can find the pieces
Lookin' back on my life, today
To see if I can find the pieces
Lookin' back on my life
God help me find the pieces

Concert Review

ASHEVILLE'S STANDING OVATIONS
July 24, 1975

Elvis introduces his Dad,
and states that Vernon's favourite song is
'Pieces Of My Life',
and that is what Elvis sings.
Elvis' voice must have sounded brilliant
as it filled the Civic Centre that night.
A woman called out "You're beautiful"
just before the line
"Lord the pieces of my life are everywhere",
and the girls screamed at the line
"And the one I miss most of all,
is You".

Elvis' life was more though than just numbers in a chart. 
He was a great influence on young and old  alike. 
Today, Elvis' music has reached a new generation, our children. 
Those of us who were born in the 50's and  60's,
who grew up on Elvis Presley,
our children are now adoring, loyal fans of Elvis. 

 The day Elvis died, a legend was born! 

Long live the legend...
