Memphis

It's not the note so reminiscent Of everything I've ever known That makes me want to be with you Beneath the shimmering waves of moonlight That dance and tremble at our feet I want you in my arms and in my soul No matter what the future holds You know tonight they kiss in Memphis And trace the writing on the wall Tonight my soul has wings Drifting in an ancient sky Deep within the Valley of the Kings Tonight there's not a a trace of Elvis To claim the magic southern sky And how I want to be with you And I can feel the breath of angels A spirit that I can't deny That reaches out across three thousand years Dissolves my heart in joy and tears You know tonight they kiss in Memphis And trace the writing on the wall Tonight my soul has wings Drifting in an ancient sky Deep within the Valley of the Kings In my heart there's a song that's been waiting It's been held like a coil on a spring Let it run, let it fly Changing my life with its freedom ring You know tonight they kiss in Memphis And trace the writing on the wall Tonight my soul has wings Drifting in an ancient sky Seeing with an eagle's eye Lost within the Valley of the Kings
