[Eb] Precious memories [Ab] I [Eb]
[Bb] saw
[Eb]
[Ab] Place, Tupelo, Mississippi.
[Eb] God sent this world a baby boy who was born in poverty.
And as a boy he wondered what would be his destiny.
His life was to be busy and things would happen that even he couldn't believe.
He had so much to give, yet very little to receive.
[Ab] He started with a song and a wiggle, and some people couldn't [Eb] understand.
But you and I now know that it was all in God's plan.
No sooner had he started than he was to lose his most [Ab] precious prize.
Tragedy struck [Eb] this young man's life.
His mother died.
By this time he had the colonel who was to guide his every step.
And things began to happen that neither one could seem to help.
He came home from the Army and we saw him on TV.
[Ab] And because of that wiggle, they wouldn't even show his knees.
His career grew and he started making movies.
And this took him [F] from us for a while.
Even [Bb] though he didn't like it, he still gave the world a smile.
Then he came back [Eb] to us in person because to sing for his fans was what he really enjoyed.
[Ab] And when he felt that he didn't please us, [Eb] with himself he was annoyed.
We demanded, not understanding, that he give to us his all.
He tried to do what we wanted for the big and the small.
The demand for his records or to have a glimpse or touch his hand.
Bit by bit this took its toll.
For even he was just a [Ab] man.
Oh yeah, he was very happy living and he wasn't afraid [Eb] to die.
Even now, though our hearts are broken, he wouldn't want us to cry.
God in all of his wisdom, even though we [Ab] loved him so, he knew what was [Eb] best.
We don't understand it, but it was time for him to go.
Let you and I in our memory never lose what he gave.
Because while he was living, for God in country, yes, heaven now is broader.
Though this world has lost light, take care of business.
[Ab] That's what he'd tell us.
You must carry on the fight.
Even his [Eb] daddy and little Lisa, they must accept what God has done.
Even though like our heavenly father, Vernon gave his only son.
[Ab] Now the show is over and the [Eb] curtain has come down.
[N] Elvis has left the building, but will always.
[Gb] Precious flood [Eb] my soul.
