Words From The Past
~*Marge Tindal*~

Don't tell me again that Elvis is dead !
And those that do the sightings are out of their heads !
I know what I see - I know what I hear
I'm still aware of Elvis crooning softly in my ear

I saw the King Of Rock And Roll fame
at Heartbreak Hotel - one and the same.
In Blue Suede Shoes so out of style
that teens on the street corner started to smile.

I wanted to scream Don't Be Cruel to this man.
he's still The King across this musical land.

Then Elvis turned on that lopsided grin,
picked up his guitar, started singing again.
Crooned his way through Love Me Tender
then sang again my favorite render

Across the crowd out on the square
he asked if I'd be his - Teddy Bear.
Most of the songs, causing me to remember
he took me along with words so tender.

Just before his gig was through
he softly strummed Loving You
Had those newbies on their feet
Encore ! Encore ! their repeat

Then across reminisced notes of the night
I heard his voice in whispered quiet
sing these Words to me ...

Smile an everlasting smile
A smile can bring you near to me
Don't ever let me find you gone
'Cause that could bring a tear to me

These words have lost their glory,
Let's start a brand new story, now my love
Right now there'll be no other time
And I can show you all my love

Talk in everlasting words
And dedicate them all to me
I will give you all my life
It's here if you should call to me

You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say
It's only words and words are all I have
To take your heart away

Words
(Words & music: R. B. & M. Gibb)

Oh Marge!!!!!
Nostalgia reigns today!
First Elvis and then....

"Smile an everlasting smile
A smile can bring you near to me
Don't ever let me find you gone
'Cause that could bring a tear to me

These words have lost their glory,
Let's start a brand new story, now my love
Right now there'll be no other time
And I can show you all my love

Talk in everlasting words
And dedicate them all to me
I will give you all my life
It's here if you should call to me

You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say
It's only words and words are all I have
To take your heart away"

Did you know that this is one of my favourite songs EVER!!!?
Now it's going to be stuck in my head all day! (I hope)!!

Challenge well met m'friend.
Love ya, Nancy

Wonderful, dear Marge. You know when I read TerryW's challenge, I instantly thought my favorite singer of all times was Elvis ... but I found I did not have the time to put something together. I am happy you choose him and did it with your usual abundance of talent and beauty.

Love and hugs.

Oh Marge, this is fantastic. Elvis was indeed the king of rock and roll. I just love his music.

Elvis and the BG's in one poem is worth reading at anytime...but tell me this how do I now get the songs out of my head?

a good commitee can decimate communication.
