And every night he lays his body down
In a different town but one thing stays the same
Everybody knows his name
People may laugh or cry as his stories are told
To tell the truth like this a man must be bold
And the people are glad, for the things he shares
Everybody knows he cares
By the light of the moon comes a flood of emotion
Riley B. King, be the king of the ocean
He's royal blue like the deep blue sea
Riley B. King
Out of the darkness and into the light
To fight the peaceful warrior's fight
Such a beautiful sight and the way you feel
Watchin' him with Lucille
The heart of the man is open wide
And he closes his eyes and looks inside
To a love of the world through the song he sings
Giving it everything
By the light of the moon comes a flood of emotion
Riley B. King, be the king of the ocean
He's royal blue like the deep blue sea
Riley B. King
By the light of the moon comes a flood of emotion
Riley B. King, be the king of the ocean
He's royal blue like the deep blue sea
Riley B. King
By the light of the moon comes a flood of emotion
Riley B. King, be the king of the ocean
He's royal blue like the deep blue sea
Riley B. King
He's a king without a castle or crown And every night he lays his body down In a different town but one thing stays the same Everybody knows his name People may laugh or cry as his stories are told To tell the truth like this a man must be bold And the people are glad, for the things he shares Everybody knows he cares By the light of the moon comes a flood of emotion Riley B. King, be the king of the ocean He's royal blue like the deep blue sea Riley B. King Out of the darkness and into the light To fight the peaceful warrior's fight Such a beautiful sight and the way you feel Watchin' him with Lucille The heart of the man is open wide And he closes his eyes and looks inside To a love of the world through the song he sings Giving it everything By the light of the moon comes a flood of emotion Riley B. King, be the king of the ocean He's royal blue like the deep blue sea Riley B. King By the light of the moon comes a flood of emotion Riley B. King, be the king of the ocean He's royal blue like the deep blue sea Riley B. King By the light of the moon comes a flood of emotion Riley B. King, be the king of the ocean He's royal blue like the deep blue sea Riley B. King Explain Request ×
