When Our Idol Was the King

When our idol was the King

There was feeling that made us care
all we could do was sit and stare
with the sound that made us cry
our eyes are now forever dry
When our idol was the King

We didn't need to cast our vote
or decide if he could sing
His soul came through on every note
When our idol was the King
When our idol was the King

When our idol was the King

It started with some rock 'n roll
gospel was sung with plenty of soul
while ballads could let the girls dream
and a love song only theirs to redeem
When our idol was the King

(Instrumental solo)

That's all right mama, showed us how
perfection was all he would allow
Unchained melody spirit was there
with a heart that couldn't help but care
When our idol was the King

Over thirty years already spent
that it still with us now is no accident
good on us that chose to save the feel
Elvis never will lose that appeal
When our idol was the King

We didn't need to cast our vote
or decide if he could sing
His soul came through on every note
When our idol was the King
When our idol was the King

When our idol was the King

We didn't need to cast our vote
or decide if he could sing
His soul came through on every note
When our idol was the King
When our idol was the King

Cause our idol's still the King
