When we played a slow from Elvis

Friday night, I stood on the stage,
When I saw a beautiful girl;
I didn't know her name, didn't know her age,
But she was a lonely pearl.

She stood there alone and she ordered a glass,
I thought she was lonely and free;
I thought maybe after this evening show,
She would come home to me.

But when we played a slow from Elvis,
A young boy asked her for the dance;
To the sound of Love me tender,
Began for her a new romance.

While we played my heart was crying,
And I disguised my falling tears;
I'll remain a lonesome cowboy,
With no one to ease my fears.

They danced so close, he held her so tight,
My heart was beating more and more;
I felt so lonely when he gave her a kiss,
I was shoked like never before.

But when we played a slow from Elvis,
A young boy asked her for the dance;
To the sound of Love me tender,
Began for her a new romance.

While we played my heart was crying,
And I disguised my falling tears;
I'll remain a lonesome cowboy,
With no one to ease my fears.
