Elvis Decanter

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Collecting dust inside that liquor store 'till you bought it for me A decanter full of whiskey in the image of the king The more I drank from it, the less I saw of you That bottle's empty now and you and I are through [Verse 2] When you gave me the king of gifts, I didn't know what to say Except a hundred and thirty dollars in an awful lot to pay For a girl like you who doesn't make much money anyway But you cared enough to put away a little every day [Chorus] For that Elvis decanter The one you gave to me A fitting symbol of our love An empty likeness of the king If I had filled it up or made it last, would it have changed a thing? From the Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me [Verse 3] They told me I should save it, it'd be worth something someday But me, I couldn't wait and that king of rock got lighter everyday Soon it was half empty, I was half as close to you Then I drank the rest, and should've guessed I drank our loving too [Chorus] Oh, that Elvis decanter The one you gave to me A fitting symbol of our love An empty likeness of the king If I had filled it up or made it last, would it have changed a thing? From the Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me [Bridge] In the name of Elvis Why did you have to leave? When I love you And I need you desperately tonight [Chorus] Oh, that Elvis decanter The one you gave to me A fitting symbol of our love An empty likeness of the king If I had filled it up or made it last, would it have changed a thing? From the Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me
