Shine A Little Light On Elvis - Rex Fowler




He made mistakes - everyone does
And bless his soul - he lost control - of who he was
Yeah he got heavy – and sang some bad songs
But he sang some great ones - before he passed on
So lets shine a little light on Elvis
Lets shine a little light his way
Why don’t we shine a little light on Elvis
And appreciate the gift he gave
He grew up sheltered – and he grew up poor
But he grew up cherished - loved and adored
He had his dreams - like you and me
Then woke from his par-ents - pov-erty
So lets shine a little light on Elvis
Lets shine a little light his way
Why don’t we shine a little light on Elvis
And appreciate the price he paid And he carried their burdens - square up on his back
Until he could buy ‘em a brand new home & a couple’a brand new Cadillacs
Wish I could have done that - bet you do too
So how ‘bout some credit - where credit’s due
It’s time to - shine a little light on Elvis
Shine a little light his way
Cause when you shine on someone else
Th’ lite’l shine back on y’self
And that’s bound to make a better day
Why don’t we
Shine a little light on Elvis
Shine a little light his way
Cause when you shine a little light
It’s like a beacon in the night
That can guide you ‘til the break of day
