jimmy webb - elvis and me (feat. the jordanaires) lyrics

i met him one night in the lobby
a las vegas hotel
he was standing as close as i’m standing
next to you now
he called me by name
and i felt like it changed me somehow, yeah
into someone important and special
i know it sounds strange
well i swear that it’s true

it was elvis and me
me and el
we were just like this
hey, we got on so well
we were laughing and talking as nice as can be
can i tell you a story?

he gave me a pass to the late show
the very first row
and when it was over
he came out to the apr+n and bowed
he looked right at me
as if to single me out from the crowd
and he slipped me a small piece of paper
it said: “come backstage”
listen, this is no joke
it was elvis and me
me and el
in the dressing room
with the boys and the colonel
he gave me a weekend
a dummy could see
can i tell you a story?

well he took me straight up
to the penthouse suite
there were stars and pretty girls everywhere
rock ‘n’ roll royalty
just sitting at his feet
and a charge of electricity in the air
i don’t expect you to believe me
but i don’t really care
’cause i was there
i was there

i was a number 1 fan
when he died, a part of me passed on too
if only he’d called me
i know i could have saved him for sure
he just needed a friend
he must have been so insecure
that old rock of ages couldn’t hide him anymore
but do you see that empty stool?
well, he’s sitting there right now
it’s still elvis and me
me and el
h+ll, i’ll buy anything
that the colonel will sell
and i know that it’s wrong
but i just can’t settle free
can i tell you a story?
can i tell you a story?
well, can i tell you a story
’bout elvis and me
well, can i tell you a story?
well, can i tell you a story?
well, can i tell you a story?
’bout elvis and me
elvis and me
elvis and me
elvis and me
