Elvis and Marilyn - Leon Russell

Well Elvis was handsome, his hair was black as night

Marilyn was the queen of the screen, no one could hold her tight

Elvis and Marilyn spent many nights alone

With their dreams and memories on silent telephones

Elvis and Marilyn never fell in love

Elvis and Marilyn never shared the stars above

Marilyn was magic, her hair was bright as gold

Elvis was magnetic, he hated growing old

Elvis and Marilyn kept under lock and key

They never went out dancing, no picnic by the sea

Elvis and Marilyn though they never fell in love

Elvis and Marilyn never shared the stars above

Whoa he wore his leather jacket

And she wore a velvet glove

And never fell in love

Elvis was a father, he never had a son

Marilyn didn’t have a daughter, Lord how she wanted one

Elvis and Marilyn, I wonder if they met

The fact that I will never know is one thing I regret

Elvis and Marilyn never fell in love

Elvis and Marilyn

Elvis and Marilyn whoa they never fell in love

Elvis and Marilyn

Elvis and Marilyn never fell in love
