Elvis Had Tears


from his childhood dreams out sitting on his swing from his mommas tender means he shed them in his youth while letting loose as the king would grow he had moments to show going off in the army being late for curfew parting is such sweet sorrow my friend married Lisa Marie in pleasant history a blend of make believe as he put together Graceland let the reader understand he had an infinite plan yet deep inside he hid his feelings until he broke in two having bitten off far more then he could ever chew made movies with Ann Margaret was on target the flings of Jail House rock he was on top but to his surprise he was in a mix of lies Elvis had tears throughout the years at his mommas funeral he couldn't compose himself then many years had passed having every reason to grasp the tender message of his voice with a precious choice Nixon gave him a medal of bearing arms & tabacco through all his endeavors let us deeply remember his whispering voice with a choice 1977 was the last time we saw him he shed a tear to numb his pain his deep emotions were driving him insane yet for Elvis sake he soared through the flames to the king rest nice sweet Mr. Presley we shall see you one day in heaven
