Roy

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
