Well I heard it on the tv
You did a special thing
Chased the thieves right out of town
So you could save the King
Well it's not that you were lucky
Things got pretty bad
A voice that lives in tragedy
Is destined to sound sad
Did they tell you you're a star now
That you won't fade away
Well I bet they never warned you
What you could lose along the way
But you found a friend in Elvis anyway
Well I think about you often
About the darkness and the light
How we just cannot have it all
Not even you could Roy
On the night that you saved Elvis
I wonder what you said
Did you sing only the lonely
Over his final bed
Did they tell you you're a star now
That you won't fade away
Well I bet they never warned you
What you could lose along the way
But you found a friend in Elvis anyway"
