WHAT WERE YOU DOING THAT SUMMER’S DAY

THAT DAY WHEN THE NEWS CAME THROUGH ?

DID IT CHANGE THE WAY YOU FELT IN LIFE

ABOUT THE THINGS YOU SAY AND DO

EVERYTHING WAS LOST IT SEEMS, I COULDN'T DO A THING

THE WHOLE WORLD CRIED WHEN THE MUSIC DIED

AND MOURNED THE PASSING OF A  KING ...

FOURTEEN AND ONE SCORE YEARS HAVE PASSED …TIME JUST FLEW

THE TEARS HAVE FLOWED, LOVE HAS GROWN, JUST MISSING YOU

THERE AIN’T NOTHING IN THIS BIG WIDE WORLD

COULD EVER CHANGE THE WAY THINGS ARE

FOR ON THAT NIGHT, MY VERY SOUL TOOK FLIGHT

AND JOINED A SINGLE SHINING STAR.

AND A SINGLE STAR SHONE OVER GRACELAND©

WHEN I WAS HERE THIS TIME LAST YEAR

A SINGLE STAR THAT SHONE SO BRIGHTLY

IN THE WARM AND MISTY MIDNIGHT AIR

TWENTY THOUSAND BURNING CANDLES

MADE IT ALL SEEM SO CLEAR

THE SINGLE STAR THAT SHONE ON GRACELAND©

HAD LED ME ALL THE WAY BACK HERE.  

AND IT’S NOT OVER BY A LONG WAY

OH NO, IT’S NOWHERE DONE, WHO COULD EVER DENY

THE STAR AIN’T SHINING THERE FOR EVERYONE.

Y’KNOW, WE FINALLY MADE IT TO GRACELAND©

AND THANK GOD HE LED US ALL THE WAY

TO BE PART OF THE CANDLELIGHT VIGIL

JUST TO KNEEL AND SILENTLY PRAY

THAT WE ALL SHARE LOVE, PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP

NO MATTER WHO WE ARE

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT NIGHT IN MEMPHIS ,

WHEN WE FELT THE GLOW OF A SINGLE SHINING STAR ….
