Elvis Decanter
Collecting dust inside that liquor store 'till you bought it for me,
A decanter full of whiskey in the image of the King.
The more I drank from it the less I saw of you.
That bottle's empty now, and you and I are through.
When you gave me the King of gifts, I didn't know what to say.
Except a hundred and thirty dollars is an awful lot to pay,
For a girl like you who doesn't make much money anyway.
But you cared enough to put away a little everyday,
For that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me.
A fitting symbol of our love, and empty likeness of the King
Your love for me went out the day you took that last remaining drink,
From that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me
They told me I should have saved it; it'd be worth something someday.
But me, I couldn't wait, that King of Rock got lighter everyday.
Soon it was half empty and I was half as close to you.
Then I drank the rest, I should've guessed I drank our love in two.
For that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me.
A fitting symbol of our love, and empty likeness of the King.
If I had filled it up or made it last would it have changed a thing?
It's just an Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me.
Oh that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me.
In the name of Elvis, why did you have to leave?
When I love you and I need you desperately tonight.
Oh that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me.
A fitting symbol of our love, and empty likeness of the King.
Your love for me went out the day you took that last remaining drink,
From that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me
Collecting dust inside that liquor store 'till you bought it for me,
A decanter full of whiskey in the image of the King.
The more I drank from it the less I saw of you.
That bottle's empty now, and you and I are through.
Oh that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me.
A fitting symbol of our love, and empty likeness of the King.
Your love for me went out the day you took that last remaining drink,
From that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me.
If I had filled it up or made it last, would it have changed a thing?
It's just an Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me.
A decanter full of whiskey in the image of the King.
The more I drank from it the less I saw of you.
That bottle's empty now, and you and I are through.
When you gave me the King of gifts, I didn't know what to say.
Except a hundred and thirty dollars is an awful lot to pay,
For a girl like you who doesn't make much money anyway.
But you cared enough to put away a little everyday,
For that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me.
A fitting symbol of our love, and empty likeness of the King
Your love for me went out the day you took that last remaining drink,
From that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me
They told me I should have saved it; it'd be worth something someday.
But me, I couldn't wait, that King of Rock got lighter everyday.

Oh that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me.
In the name of Elvis, why did you have to leave?

Oh that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me.
A fitting symbol of our love, and empty likeness of the King.
Your love for me went out the day you took that last remaining drink,

Collecting dust inside that liquor store 'till you bought it for me,

Oh that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me.
A fitting symbol of our love, and empty likeness of the King.
Your love for me went out the day you took that last remaining drink,
From that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me.
If I had filled it up or made it last, would it have changed a thing?
It's just an Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me.
