I washed with water and stared at him over again

My silly faces were changing from pale to red

How did I get here?

Now I can't turn my head

[Chorus]

D/F# G

Sometimes we hear what's softly spoken

D/F# G

Yet still seem so afraid

D/F# G

And when we're healing all that's broken

We turn to you and say

D A

I think you're right where you belong

[Verse]

I touched my hand upon Elvis

D A

Now I can't complain

A D A

I touched only felt on his canvas, and I'll do it again

D A

Why are we even holding on so long?

[Chorus]

And we still touch you barely breathing

You seem to have had it made

We're feeling fairly open, but who am I to say?

I think you're right where you belong

I'm wondering if I'd ever been here and when

Hey, Ali also won our hearts long ago

[Chorus]

D/F# G

But honestly I, too, move so slowly

D/F# G

Yet seem to make the grade

And when I'm feeling rather lonely

I turn to you and say

I think you're right where you belong

Hey, hello, are you my only friend?

I'm wondering when I'll see your face again

Hey, hello, are you my only friend?

Hey, hello, are you my only friend?
