IF LIFE WAS FAIR

The quote:
"If life was fair, Elvis would be alive and all the impersonators would be dead."
- Johnny Carson

If life was fair, as it should be,
Elvis would still sing to me;
I'd listen to that southern drawl
Because he was the best of all!

I wouldn't have to see the guys
Living in the past, telling lies
Of how they could impersonate
The King; I know they're fake!

Elvis wouldn't jump from a plane,
He was great and not insane!
He sang of love and made his mark;
He sang of light, and did embark

On a career that lifted him to fame;
He has gone and will not come again.
Let him rest, for he left behind
All that music in our mind.
