The Next Step

A children's
Animated movie
Featured a cute blue alien
And a little Hawaiian girl who loved
Elvis.

I heard his voice
For the first time
In this movie, and I begged
My mother for more
Elvis.

I ran my first CD ragged
Listening, learning, and loving,
Until one Christmas, my favorite
Uncle suggested we leave a day
Early and stop in Memphis, to learn
More and tour the grand home of
Elvis.

My love and respect for this
Legendary man grew unstoppable,
And I began to collect music, records,
Books, movies, all I could find to tell
Me more about
Elvis.

Then I met a young man who loved
The southern star with a passion like mine,
Who sang and danced and talked and laughed
And did it all for the sake and purpose of
Paying tribute
To the extraordinary man known as
Elvis.

It started so simply
And my love burns so strong
That no matter of years could make
A difference in the passion, the joy
That I get from one special man named
Elvis.
