That Was Elvis Singing "Elvis" |
LyricsThe neon lights weren't bright enoughTo help me find my way around This once too smokey, karaoke bar and grill downtown When we first came here late one night It was something of a lark We watched the singers, some were ringers, And held hands in the dark But now we're worlds apart I watched an old man take the stage With a stride that showed his years He sang "Love Me Tender", "Return To Sender" And you'd swear that "E" was near But I'd rather have her here That was Elvis singing "Elvis" and I sit here all alone She is not with me to share this and she won't be coming home We have seen the sights of Paris, kissed below the "Bridge of Sighs" Now I swear to you I saw him, but without her by my side It could just be my eyes As he walked off, the lights came up And I caught his tired face With eyes still burning and that lip up-turning Still perfectly in place I turned to see her wide blue eyes But she wasn't there this time She had ways that had me believing in magic That lately's hard to find Well, maybe one last time That was Elvis singing "Elvis" and I sit here all alone She is not with me to share this and she's never coming home We had lived a dream in Paris, kissed below 1000 lights But those memories are fading as he's walking out of sight It must have been my eyes |
