Beyond The Gates
The day you left Graceland I was not here
You were gone before my heart would draw me near
No one told me how it would be beyond these gates open wide
Only the things within I would see as you walk by my side
As the time draws us close your voice I can hear
Your smile I can see your laughter we hold so dear
As I enter the gates through your eyes I can see
At this moment in time here it was meant for me to be
The honor guard standing so proud the candles now all aglow
Shimmering in the night lighting the path where we will go
In silence our thoughts go back to the time when you were here
To those things you left behind they will always be on our mind
From those that came before me I learned of your life
Your laughter, your smile, yes even your strife
But through your songs that is where I learned
Of the love in your heart where the fire always burned
To reach out and give to your fellow man
With your strong loving and most generous hand
Much happiness and joy from this you drew
Not knowing the why, even the when, or the who
The songs you left behind
I have done the best I can
Making sure they are always heard
Taking from them not a single word
We call ourselves your devoted fans
But to you we will always be
Friends of the heart
A bond time can never part
Now your mansion stands before me
As we come to a stop
Reminding me of where you now reside
In that mansion just over the hill top
God gave you life everlasting
That promise he did make
As you put your hand in his
Gladly he did take
Your music I hear playing soft and tenderly
And without him like a ship without a sail I would be
As I make my way down the garden path I see
Love and devotion to you there will always be
Waiting my turn as the time draws near
Wiping from my cheek the very first tear
As I stand before where they laid you
Your hand I feel on mine much comfort in this I do find
As I leave this place
This promise to you I will make
Through my tribute I will strive
Always keeping the memory alive
