Dedicate it to Elvis.

[Burning_Love]

If you could dedicate one song to Elvis, either your own, or someone else's...what would it be ?? (You can't choose an Elvis song...I'm evil )

Mine Would Be :

There's a hero If you look inside your heart You don't have to be afraid Of what you are There's an answer If you reach into your soul And the sorrow that you know Will melt away

And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you

It's a long road When you face the world alone No one reaches out a hand For you to hold You can find love If you search within yourself And the emptiness you felt Will disappear

And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you

Lord knows Dreams are hard to follow But don't let anyone Tear them away Hold on There will be tomorrow In time You'll find the way

And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you

Because He's My Hero.

Happy Posting

ooo toughie! ok well it'd have to be "goodbye to you" by Michelle Branch (great song)

the lyrics don't really fit with Elvis, but the chorus pretty much sums it up for me :

Of all the things I believe in
I just want to get it over with
tears from behind my eyes
but I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to

I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems like I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes till you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light but it's not right

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to

When the stars fall and I lie awake
You're my shooting star

The first song that came into my head was

Faith Hill's "There You'll Be"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpaBQPspLXg

When I think back on these times
and the dreams we left behind
I'll be glad
'coz I was blessed
to get to have you in my life
when I look back on these days
I'll look and see your face
you were right there for me

In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
in my heart there'll always be a place for you, for all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
and everywhere I am there you'll be
Everywhere I am there you'll be

Well you showed me how it feels
to feel the sky within my reach
and I always will remember
all the strength you gave to me
your love made me make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
you were right there for me

In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
in my heart there'll always be a place for you, for all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
and everywhere I am there you'll be

Coz I always saw in you my light, my strength
And I wanna thank you now for all the ways
you were right there for me
you were right there for me always

In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
in my heart there'll always be a place for you, for all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
and everywhere I am there you'll be
and everywhere I am there you'll be

Celine Dion - Because You Loved Me
It doesn't fit in everything but oh well....
I made a video with the song too
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=tG3PZsTKvHY

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all


You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me


You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you


You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me


You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you


You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me


I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

Wow, some really nice posts...There are some songs that I usually wouldn't like, but when I read the lyrics while thinking about Elvis, it's very different.

Hmm, not an Elvis song? This means you suppose that I sometimes listen to something else than Elvis??
Ok, I'll post something very different of what the previous people did, all the previous songs were dedicated to the terrible feeling of loosing him, or to what he brought to us... Mine would be I'm a rocker, a Bruce Springsteen song, and to me it has that same feeling than when I see Elvis doing his rock thing. Like, he can't be stopped, he is alive only to dance and sing some rock...

I got a 007 watch and it's a one and only
It's got a I-Spy beeper that tells me when you're lonely
I got a Batmobile so I can reach ya' in a fast shake
When your world's in crisis of an impendin' heartbreak

Now don't you call James Bond or Secret Agent Man
Cause they can't do it, like I can
I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker - every day
I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker

If you're hanging from a cliff or you're tied to the tracks, girl
Columbo split and you can't find Kojak
True love is broken and your tears are fallin' faster
You're sufferin' from a pain in your heart or some other natural disaster

Now I don't care what kind of shape you're in
If they put up a roadblock, I'll parachute in
I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker - I'm in love
I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker - every day
I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker - with you

So you fell for some jerk who was tall, dark and handsome
Then he kidnapped your heart and now he's holdin' it for ransom
Well, like a mission impossible I'm gonna go and get it back
You know I would'a taken better care of it, baby, than that

Sometimes I get so hot girl, well, I can't talk
But when I'm with you I cool off , and I walk
I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker, and I talk
I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker, every day
I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker, every day


Here's some concert footage of Springsteen singing it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLUkJyEEX8k
