Dear Elvis

Dear Elvis
Hear my words
I've written to you twice before
But I'm not sure you've heard
Do you notice
The joy you bring?
Though Father says the devil lives
Inside the songs you sing

There's something in the way
That you sing, sets people free
Though Elvis I'd be lying
If I said it was for me
I've just got to know
Will you come and say "hello"
Cause Mother, she stops crying
When you're on the radio

Dear Elvis
Who'd you call
When you're lying in the dark
Without a friend at all
And can you change this
As you grow old
Or is it just like Father says
About doing as you're told?

There's something in the way
That you sing, sets people free
If you could start replying
It would mean so much to me
I've just got to know
Will you come and say "hello"
Cause Mother, she stops crying
When you're on the radio

Oh oh, the loneliness
Oh oh oh, the tenderness
They say that you're a star
But all I see is a man with a guitar

There's something in the way
That you sing, sets people free
Though Elvis I'd be lying
If I said it was for me
I've just got to know
Will you come and say "hello"
Cause Mother, she stops crying
When you're on the radio
Mother she stops crying
When you're on the radio
