Elvis and Marilyn

by Leon Russell

Lyrics
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
