LYRICS TO "A Single Shining Star"©

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 SEEM, I COULD’NT DO A THING
THE WHOLE WORLD CRIED WHEN THE MUSIC DIED
AND MOURNED THE PASSING OF A KING

SEVEN 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 WHOLE 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

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
TO KNEEL AND SILENTLY PRAY
THAT WE ALL SHARE LOVE, PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP
NO MATTER WHO WE ARE
AND FOREVER REMEMBER THAT NIGHT IN MEMPHIS,
WHEN WE FELT THE GLOW OF A SINGLE SHINING STAR….
