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'd it feel when he bought his mama that pink Cadillac
Coming from the barefoot start of a Mississippi shack
I'd make sure he knows, at Graceland, people visit every day
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 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 dream a little bigger cause of what he had to give
Only the good die young they say
But I wish he would have stayed
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 those gates
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 there's so much I would tell him
I wouldn't be me without him
Yeah I would thank him
If I could talk to Elvis
