If I Could Talk To Elvis

If I could talk to Elvis I hope he'd have all day I'd ask him all about Memphis And that Vegas stage How'd it feel when he bought his mama that pink Cadillac Coming from the barefoot start of a Mississippi shack I'd make sure he knows, at Graceland, people visit every day How is it that I miss somebody that I've never met The years go by but none of us forget He felt like a friend to me and that's just what I'd tell him If I could talk to Elvis I'd him the world remembers every song he sang And that we all really love him and not just know his name He changed a generation with one swing of his hips We dream a little bigger cause of what he had to give Only the good die young they say But I wish he would have stayed How is it that I miss somebody that I've never met The years go by but none of us forget He felt like a friend to me and that's just what I'd tell him If I could talk to Elvis What was it like when you got to those gates Bet you were asked to sing for all the saints How is it that I miss somebody that I've never met The years go by but none of us forget He felt like a friend to me there's so much I would tell him I wouldn't be me without him Yeah I would thank him If I could talk to Elvis
