He would have towered above me on the stage

A king in every way

Lowered his head and smiled at me

My breath would simply have ceased to be

I would never have forgotten that day.

But I can only dream

Of what could have been

I didn’t ever get to see

Him or feel his presence near to me

To see him walk across that floor

The man I will always adore

White suit gleaming under the light

I can imagine “Such A Night”

But imagination is all I hold

I didn’t see his suit of gold

The audience held in the palm of his hand

As he politely introduces his backing band

A sexy smile and a swivel of hips

Those soul-filled eyes and come-to-bed lips

He starts to sing and the audience stills

The beautiful voice of the King fills

The room and my mind shuts down

I listen only to the mesmerising sound

Again this is only a dream filled thought

As it slips away unable to be caught

I’ve followed Man and Music down through the years

Joy, laughter, love and finally tears

You left us too soon

So many hearts broken

Levels of praise when your Name is spoken

A Legend in your lifetime

A Hero in mine

Your music will continue

Till the end of time.
