I Saw Elvis!!!

I swear I saw Elvis down by the gate,

He flashed a grin like it was 1958,

He tipped his hat, said “Don’t Be Cruel,”

Then moonwalked off like a rock ’n’ roll jewel.

I saw him standing by a neon sign,

He winked and said “You Ain’t Nothin’ but mine,”

Strummed a chord soft, said “Love Me Tender,”

Then vanished quick like a sweet surrender.

(Chorus)

I saw Elvis walking out of the blue,

Singing “Suspicious Minds” like it still felt new,

Left my heart racing like a backbeat drum,

Now every road I walk, that rhythm hums.

Caught him singing where the jukebox plays,

He spun around in those blue suede ways,

Said “Wear My Ring Around Your Neck,”

Then disappeared like a magic effect.

I saw him dancing in a midnight dream,

By a velvet curtain and a spotlight beam,

He hummed along to “Can’t Help Falling in Love,”

Then drifted away like a whisper above.

(Chorus)

I said I saw Elvis, yeah I swear it’s true,

In a flash of light in those blue suede shoes,

He left a groove in the air I breathe,

Like a ghost of rhythm I still believe.

I swear I saw Elvis by the roadside light,

He laughed real smooth in the cool night,

Said “It’s Now or Never,” then took his ride,

And left that rhythm still alive inside.

(Bridge)

Maybe it’s a memory, maybe a dream,

Or a crack in time where legends still sing,

But I felt that beat and I felt that fire,

Like the King himself lit my soul’s desire.

(Chorus)

I said I saw Elvis, yeah I swear it’s true,

In a flash of light in those blue suede shoes,

He left a groove in the air I breathe,

Like a ghost of rhythm I still believe.

I saw Elvis walking out of the blue,

Singing “Suspicious Minds” like it still felt new,

Left my heart racing like a backbeat drum,

Now every road I walk, I feel him come.
