In my life you were the reason in my mind baby I still love you
But you're gone you aint coming back like an old steam whistle down a railroad track
Gone as candlelight gone as Elvis on a rainy memphis night

In my time I had my season in my eyes these tears are all I see
'Cause you're gone you wont be back again like your hit parade from way back when
or Durante in his old spotlight you're gone as Elvis on a rainy memphis night

As Randy & the Rainbows Hoss little Joe and Ben
Cherry Pink & Apple Blossom Time the king singing Are you Lonesome tonight

Gone as a shot to right by the Duke at Ebbetts under Brooklyn lights
as a box newspaper kite you're gone as Elvis on a rainy memphis night rainy memphis night

You're gone as Buddy Holly oh oh oh Louis singin Hello Dolly
Love Hurts by Phil & Don my schwinn bike that I rode on
Maybe by the Chantelles or Whispering Bells
you're really outa sight gone as Elvis on a rainy memphis night

In my life you were the reason in my mind baby I still love you
