So sad

I was taking a stroll down memory lane today. Watching old singers on Youtube and it struck me to look for this one. It always makes me so sad. The story behind it is that it is based on a letter found in the garbage can of Elvis's hotel room. When you read the words, you realize how sad and lonely he truly he was. It just breaks my heart to think of this man that we all adored that influenced music the way that he did that drew crowds the way that he did and yet his letter says, "I feel so alone sometimes,the night is quiet for me, I'd love to be able to sleep I'm glad everyone is gone now I'll probably not rest tonight I have no need for all of this . . . Help Me Lord.". In the video you can see parts of the letter in his own hand writing and Wayne recites parts of it word for word at times.



on the other hand, I did have fun finding old 80's music like "Nobody" and "Snapshot"

Here are the lyrcis:

One more phone call from a friend
Just to say how hard it’s been
How their hopes and dreams have scattered
With the wind
They don’t see that I’m there too
How it breaks my heart in two
Just to make it through this night’s all I can do

Help me Lord
I need the sun to drive away
The shadows in my mind
Help me Lord
I need someone to guide me
When the path is hard to find
Even though the crowd surrounds me
I’m still standing all alone
When I know I can’t go on
Help me Lord

As I awake again today
And my pain won’t go away
And the face I have to wear
Shows a smile
Now my nights are so alone
I just wish I could go home
I don’t know if I can make it another mile

Help me Lord
I need the sun to drive away
The shadows in my mind
Please help me Lord
I need someone to guide me
When the path is hard to find
Even though the crowd surrounds me
I’m still standing all alone
When I know I can’t go on
Help me Lord

I feel so alone sometimes
The night is quiet for me
I’d love to be able to sleep
I am glad that everyone is gone now
I’ll probably not rest tonight
I have no need for all of this
Help me Lord

Help me Lord
I need the sun to drive away
The shadows in my mind
Please help me Lord
I need someone to guide me
When the path is hard to find
Even though the crowd surrounds me
God I am so all alone
When I know I can’t go on
Help me Lord

Won’t you come and take me home
Help me Lord

That is sad... I blame a lot of that on the Colonel. *sigh*
