Remembering ELvis

The days are long and lonely
The nights are worst of all
Nor more laughing in the darkness
No more midnight telephone calls.

You left without a warning
No chance to say god-bye
So much unfinished planning
Left behind, and still I cry.

The world had cast its shadow
And gathered up your life
You no longer walked in sunshine
Your time was filled with strife.

I know you were growing tired
Music had lost its lure
Unanswered questions all around
No longer were you so sure.

Rest easy now my friend
As God has called you home
Your legacy will long endure
And your spirit is free to roam.

I feel you all around me
In days as well as night
I smell your manly fragerance
Though you have taken earthly flight.

Your name will live forever
Your music mends broken hearts
Your laughter echoes in my mind
And we'll never really be apart.

Thank you for your friendship
Don't know how I was so blessed
For being a part of your life
I must have passed some test...

Whatever was the reason
I thank God from above
For giving me a little taste
Of that magic Elvis Love.

I miss you every day.
