Graceland is
where he went to get away from it all,
She gave him
protection behind her great walls.
Graceland gave
him peace as through her gardens he would stroll
Whether in the
summer breezes or when the winds blew cold.
Graceland is
the home he loves, the place he was proud to
show
And when the
winter came,
very often you could see him
playing in the snow.
At Christmas
time he dressed her with multicolored lights
And on her
front lawn was the manger
and the Christ Child
with His halo
so bright.
Graceland is
where he brought his only child after her
birth,
For Graceland
was lovingly filled with merriment and mirth,
Welcoming the
"Princess" to the home he loved so
Opening her
arms to all, so the King's love could show.
When he left
Graceland to tour the Promise Land,
Graceland, he
left to his "Princess" so she would be in good
hands;
He wanted the
two to be together - to be close,
For at the time
he left us - they were the two he loved most.
Yes, the two
that could fill him with joy and glee
Were his home -
Graceland,
and his daughter - LISA MARIE.
