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.
