If I could talk to Elvis
I hope he'd have all day
I'd ask him all about Memphis
And that Vegas stage

How did he feel when he bought his mom that pink Cadillac
Coming from the barefoot start of the Mississippi shack?
And I'd make sure he knows that Graceland
People visit everyday

How is it that I miss somebody that I've never met?
The years go by but none of us forget
He felt like a friend to me
and that's just what I'd tell him
If I could talk to Elvis

I'd tell him the World remembers
Every song he sang
And that we all really love him
And not just know his name

He changed a generation with one swing of his hips
We'd dreamed a little big
'cause of the world he had to give
Only the good die young, they say
But I wish you would've stay

How is it that I miss somebody that I've never met?
The years go by but none of us forget
He felt like a friend to me
and that's just what I'd tell him
If I could talk to Elvis

What was it like when you got to in those gates?
I bet you were asked to sing for all the saints

How is it that I miss somebody that I've never met?
The years go by but none of us forget
He felt like a friend to me
and that's just what I'd tell him
If I could talk to Elvis
