Last night I dreamed of Elvis he was
Standing in the light
Looking radiant and beautiful just
Like he did in life
I said e it's good to see you look
So healthy and at peace
He said
You know I'm really happy here how's
Things in tennessee
Well I told him we all missed him
That the whole world loved the king
He said
You know if things were different
I'd ask you to wear my ring
I said el ah can I call you el
Ah Elvis el or e
I said am I just dreamin' or were
You just flirtin' with me
Uh huh huh
Whoa ho I dreamed about Elvis dreamed about Elvis
Dreamed about Elvis last night
We sang don't be cruel and all shook up
Heartbreak hotel and that's alright
Let me be your teddy bear and blue hawaii too
Jailhouse rock and viva Las Vegas
Kentucky moon of blue
Blue moon of Kentucky
Shiloh
Then he curled his lip and said
You know you remind me a little of monroe
Oh and I said really marilyn and he said
No bill
Bill the king of bluegrass
Uh huh huh
I dreamed about Elvis dreamed about Elvis
Dreamed about Elvis last night
Uh huh huh
I dreamed about Elvis dreamed about Elvis
Dreamed about Elvis last night
Oh oh yeah
And the dream went on
And I dreamed I said in real life
You sang so many songs
And I always thought I'd like to
Hear you sing one of my own
He said
I almost did one of yours the one about true love
The I will always love you' song
But the colonel screwed that up
Well he sure did but after all this is my dream
It would be a dream come true
If maybe you could sing it now
And let me sing with you and we sang
I will always love you I will always love you
I hope life
I hope life
Treats you kind
Will treat you kind
And I hope
I hope
You have all that you've dreamed of
I wish you joy
I wish you joy
And happiness
And happiness
But above all this I wish you
I will always love
And I will always love you
Oh aalways love you ou ou ou ou
Oh then I woke up
I dreamed about Elvis dreamed about Elvis
Dreamed about Elvis last night
We sang blue suede shoes and love me tender
Burnin' love are you lonesome tonight
Dreamed about Elvis dreamed about Elvis
Dreamed about Elvis last night
Uh huh huh
I dreamed about Elvis dreamed about Elvis
Then he faded into the light
