Met him one night in the lobby the Las Vegas hotel

He was standing as close as I'm standing next to you now

He'd call me by name

And I felt like it changed me somehow yeah

Into someone important and special

I know it sounds strange

But I swear that it's true

It was Elvis And me me and El

We were just like kids and we got on so well

We were laughing and talking as nice as could be

Can I tell you a story

He gave me a pass to the late show

In the very first row

And when it was over he came out to the apron that night

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 back stage 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 wink and he darn he could see

Can I tell you a story

Well I took me straight up to the penthouse suite

There was stars and pretty girls everywhere

Rock and roll royalty just sitting at his feet

And the charge of electricity in the air

I don't expect you to believe me

And I don't really care

'Cause I was there I was there

I was his number one fan

And when he died 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 miserable

That old rock of ages couldn't hide it anymore

But do you see that empty stool

Well it's sitting there right now and it's still

It was Elvis And me me and El

Hell I'd buy anything that the colonel will sell me

Now I know that it's wrong

But I just can't set him 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

'Bout Elvis and me

Elvis and me

Elvis and me

Elvis and me

Elvis and me
