The King

Elvis the King

(Female Vocal Ballad)

Verse 1

Sixteen of August, the world stood still,

A quiet fell on every hill.

The jukebox sighed, the radios cried,

When the King took his final ride.

Pre-Chorus

Up through the clouds, into the light,

He joined the angels in the night.

Chorus

The music died that summer day,

When heaven called his soul away.

But Graceland stands, his songs remain,

Through every joy, through every pain.

And even now, the teardrops fall,

The King still rules the hearts of all.

Verse 2

He left us more than just the stage,

His voice will never fade with age.

From Memphis streets to the stars above,

Every note a gift, every song a love.

Pre-Chorus

And in the sky, he sings so free,

The King of Rock, eternity.

Chorus

The music died that summer day,

When heaven called his soul away.

But Graceland stands, his songs remain,

Through every joy, through every pain.

And even now, the teardrops fall,

The King still rules the hearts of all.

Bridge

No curtain call, just one last bow,

But we can hear him even now.

In every chord, in every rhyme,

Elvis lives for all of time.

Final Chorus

The music died that summer day,

But his melody will never fade.

Graceland shines, the gates swing wide,

His spirit walks those halls with pride.

And even now, the teardrops fall,

The King still rules the hearts of all.

If you’d like, I can also create a rhymed, melodic phrasing version that fits a slow gospel-ballad melody, so it’s ready to sing in the studio. Would you like me to prepare that next?
