"A LEGENDARY PERFORMER - and how "HE TOUCHED ME"

I was "RAISED ON ROCK", "PARALYZED" by it and just one "GUITAR MAN"
----from "MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE":  ELVIS AARON PRESLEY.

THE "MEMORIES" are just "TOO MUCH". You went from "RAGS TO RICHES", 
a "POOR BOY", "IN THE GHETTO" to become "KING OF THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD"

"ONE NIGHT" about 22 years ago, "I GOT STUNG", "ALL SHOOK UP" 
when I first heard you sing "HEARTBREAK HOTEL".

Then came "HOUND DOG" and "DON'T BE CRUEL" ---- 
by then "I SLIPPED, I STUMBLED, I FELL" completely for your "DIXIELAND ROCK".

I just couldn't stop "THINKING ABOUT YOU", you were "ALWAYS ON MY MIND". 
"LAWDY, MISS CLAWDY", I was sure "STUCK ON YOU" ---- 
"YOU BIG HUNK OF LOVE".

I had a lot of "YOUNG DREAMS", mostly of "TRYNG TO GET TO YOU". 
"THE POWER OF YOUR LOVE" gave me "FEVER" and "BURNING LOVE" 
for you that I knew would last forever. 
"I WAS THE ONE" who knowing it was a "ONE SIDED LOVE AFFAIR", 
was "PLAYING FOR KEEPS" anyway.

I wrote you many "LOVE LETTERS" and poems and would think to myself: 
"DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM", "ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT", 
"I FEEL THAT I'VE KNOWN YOU FOREVER".  "BABY LET'S PLAY HOUSE", 
"I NEED YOUR LOVE TONIGHT".

"DON'T ASK ME WHY", but "I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU". 
From the 50's and those "BLUE SUEDE SHOES" ---- to the days of those "G.I. BLUES", 
your "FAME AND FORTUNE" and all the "GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS" 
"I FORGOT TO REMEMBER TO FORGET".

"FUNNY HOW TIME SLIPS AWAY".  "IT'S MIDNIGHT" and "I FEEL SO BAD", 
"I JUST CAN'T HELP BELIEVIN'" that "SOMEBODY BIGGER THAN YOU AND I" 
has taken you from me:  from all of us.
