him one night
in the lobby
of a Las Vegas hotel
He was standing as close
as I'm standing nex t
to you now
He called me by name
And I felt like he 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 him
We were just like this,
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 and bow
He looked right at me,
as if to single me out
from the crowd
And he slipped me a small
piece of paper
And he said, come backstage,
listen, this is no joke
It was Elvis and me, me and him
In a dressing room with the
boys and the Colonel
He gave me a week and
it done me good see
Can I tell you a story?
Well, I took me straight up to
the penthouse suite
There were stars and pretty
girls at the wedding
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've saved him for sure
He just needed a friend
It must have been so insecure
That old Rock of Ages couldn't
hide it anymore
But do you see that empty stool?
Well, it's sittin' there right now
and it's still Elvis and me
Me and him, hell, I'll buy anything
that the colonel will send
And 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
About Elvis and me
Well, can I tell you a story
Well, can I tell you a story
Well, can I tell you a story
About Elvis and me
Elvis and me
Elvis and me
Elvis and me
My Elvis and me
Elvis and me
You, have this in me
You, have this in me
Have this in me
