|
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 fifty dollars in 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 If I had made it last or filled it up would it have changed a thing? |
|
It's just an |
|
Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me |
|
They told me |
|
I should save it, it'd be worth something |
|
Someday But me |
|
I couldn't wait and the |
|
King of Rock got lighter everyday |
|
Soon it was half empty and |
|
I was half as close to you |
|
Then I drank the rest, and should've guessed |
|
I drank our love in two |
|
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 tonite |
