Dear Elvis (Live)

Dear Elvis, hear my words

I've written to you twice before but I'm not sure you've heard

Do you notice the joy you bring?

My father says the devil lives inside the songs you sing

There's something in the way that you sing sets people free

Though Elvis I'd be lying if I said it was for me

I've just got to know, will you come and say hello?

'Cause mother she starts crying when you're on the radio

Dear Elvis, who would you call

When you're lying in the dark without a friend at all?

And can you change this as you grow old?

Or is it just like father says 'bout doing as you're told?

There's something in the way that you sing sets people free

If you could start replying it would mean so much to me

I've just got to know, will you come and say hello?

'Cause mother she starts crying when you're on the radio

Oh the loneliness

Oh the tenderness

They say that you're a star but all I see is a man with a guitar

There's something in the way that you sing sets people free

Though Elvis I'd be lying if I said it was for me

I've just got to know, will you come and say hello?

'Cause mother she starts crying when you're on the radio

Mother she starts crying when you're on the radio
