Lyrics

 

Last night I turned the radio on for the midnight news
suddenly I thought I'd died of a broken heart
when I heard the announcer say:

The great rock singer Elvis Presley
also known as the king

just died in a hospital in Memphis
Tennessee
USA
at the age of fortytwo years.

I remember Elvis Presley
Lord
how I love to hear him sing
so I'll adore him just for ever
for he's the one and only "King".
Like he was singing "Now or never
he's just a golden memory.

Good luck charm
is not for ever
good luck songs
we need 'em ever
again
again I'll play your songs

'cause in my mind you haven't gone.

I remember Elvis Presley
Lord
how I love to hear him sing
so I'll adore him just for ever
for he's the one and only "King".
Like he was singing "Now or never
he's just a golden memory.

My dear friend I won't forget you
when I need you I can hear you
King
though I dont know where or when

there'll be a day we meet again.

Elvis Presley
I wanna thank you for all the happiness
you gave so many people all over the world
during many
many years.
Ha
I remember the disc-jockey was playing "Jailhouse Rock"
When I had my first date with a beautiful girl
and since that evening
you've been my friend
Elvis !

I remember Elvis Presley
Lord
how I love to hear him sing
so I'll adore him just for ever
for he's the one and only "King".
Like he was singing "Now or never
he's just a golden memory.
So I'll adore him just for ever
he's just a golden memory.
