Elvis Presley Lyrics

Elvis' Christmas Album (1957)

Santa Claus Is Back In Town lyrics - Elvis Presley

(Christmas, Christmas, Christmas...)

Well, it's Christmas time pretty baby

And the snow is falling on the ground

Well, it's Christmas time pretty baby

And the snow is falling down

Well you be a real good little girl

Santa Claus is back in town

Got no sleigh with reindeer

No sack on my back

You're gonna see me comin' in a big black Cadillac

Oh, it's Christmas time pretty baby

And the snow is falling on the ground

Well you be a real good little baby

Santa Claus is back in town

Hang up your pretty stockings

And turn off the light

Santa Claus is comin' down your chimney tonight

Oh, it's Christmas time pretty baby

And the snow is falling on the ground

Well you be a real good little baby

Santa Claus is back in town

(Christmas, Christmas, Christmas...)

White Christmas lyrics - Elvis Presley

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,

Just like the ones I used to know.

Where those tree-tops glisten,

And children listen

To hear sleighbells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,

With every Christmas card I write,

"May your days be merry and bright,

And may all your Christmases be white".

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,

Just like the ones I used to know.

May your days may your days may your days be merry and bright,

And may all your Christmases be white.

Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane) lyrics - Elvis Presley

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus

Right down Santa Claus Lane

Vixen, Blitzen, all his reindeer

Pulling on the reins

Bells are ringing, children singing

All is merry and bright.

Hang your stockings and say a prayer

'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus

Riding down Santa Claus Lane

He's got a bag that's filled with toys

For boys and girls again

Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle

What a beautiful sight

Jump in bed and cover up your head

Because Santa Claus comes tonight

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus

Riding down Santa Claus Lane

He doesn't care if you're a rich or poor boy

He loves you just the same

Santa knows that we're God's children

That makes everything right

Fill your hearts with Christmas cheer

'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

Well, here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus

Riding down Santa Claus Lane

He'll come around when the chimes ring out

It's Christmas morn again

Peace on Earth will come to all

If we just follow the light

Let's give thanks to the Lord above

'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

I'll Be Home For Christmas lyrics - Elvis Presley

I'll be home for Christmas,

You can plan on me.

Please have snow and mistletoe

And presents for the tree.

Christmas Eve will find me

Where the love light leads.

I'll be home for Christmas, oh yes

If only in my dreams.

Blue Christmas lyrics - Elvis Presley

(from "Elvis (NBC TV Special)" soundtrack)

I'll have a blue Christmas without you

I'll be so blue just thinking about you

Decorations of red on our green Christmas tree

Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me

And when those blue snowflakes start fallin'

That's when those blue memories start callin'

You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white

But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas

You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white

But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas

Santa Bring My Baby Back (To Me) lyrics - Elvis Presley

I don't need a lot of presents

To make my Christmas bright

I just need my baby's arms

Wound around me tight

Oh oh santa hear my plea

Santa bring my baby back to me

The Christmas tree is ready

The candles all aglow

But with my baby far away

What good is mistletoe

Oh oh Santa, hear my plea

Santa bring my baby back to me

Please make these reindeer hurry

Well their time is drawing near

It sure won't seem like Christmas

Until my baby's here

Fill my sock with candy

And a bright and shiny toy

You wanna make me happy and fill my heart with joy

Then Santa, hear my plea

Santa bring my baby back to me

Please make these reindeer hurry

Well their time is drawing near

It sure won't seem like Christmas

Until my baby's here

Fill my sock with candy

And a bright and shiny toy

You wanna make me happy and fill my heart with joy

Then Santa, hear my plea

Santa bring my baby back to me

Then Santa, hear my plea

Santa bring my baby back to me

O Little Town Of Bethlehem lyrics - Elvis Presley

Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by

Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting light

The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above

While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love

Oh morning stars together, proclaim thy holy birth.

And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth.

Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by

Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting light

The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

Silent Night lyrics - Elvis Presley

(Mohr - Gruber)

Silent night, holy night.

All is calm, all is bright.

'Round yon virgin mother and child.

Holy infant so tender and mild.

Sleep in heavenly peace,

Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night.

Shepherds quake at the sight.

Glorious strains from Heaven afar

Heavenly Hosts sing alleluia.

Christ the Saviour is born,

Christ the Saviour is born.

(There'll Be) Peace In The Valley (For Me) lyrics - Elvis Presley

Oh well, I'm tired and so weary

But I must go alone

Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes

Well the morning's so bright

And the Lamb is the light

And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes

There will be peace in the valley for me, some day

There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray

There'll be no sadness, no sorrow

No trouble, trouble I see

There will be peace in the valley for me, for me

Well the bear will be gentle

And the wolves will be tame

And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes

And the beasts from the wild

Shall be led by a child

And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh yes

There will be peace in the valley for me, some day

There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray

There'll be no sadness, no sorrow

No trouble, trouble I see

There will be peace in the valley for me, for me

I Believe lyrics - Elvis Presley

I believe for every drop of rain that falls

A flower grows

I believe that somewhere in the darkest night

A candle glows

I believe for everyone who goes astray, someone will come

To show the way

I believe, I believe

I believe above a storm the smallest prayer

Can still be heard

I believe that someone in the great somewhere

Hears every word

Everytime I hear a new born baby cry,

Or touch a leaf or see the sky

Then I know why, I believe

Everytime I hear a new born baby cry,

Or touch a leaf or see the sky

Then I know why, I believe

Take My Hand, Precious Lord lyrics - Elvis Presley

Precious Lord, take my hand

Lead me on, let me stand

I'm tired, I'm weak, I'm worn

Through the storm, through the night

Lead me on to the light

Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

When my way grows drear precious Lord linger near

When my light is almost gone

Hear my cry, hear my call

Hold my hand lest I fall

Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

When the darkness appears and the night draws near

And the day is past and gone

At the river I stand

Guide my feet, hold my hand

Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

Precious Lord, take my hand

Lead me on, let me stand

I'm tired, I'm weak, I'm worn

Through the storm, through the night

Lead me on to the light

Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

It Is No Secret (What God Can Do) lyrics - Elvis Presley

The chimes of time ring out the news,

Another day is through.

Someone slipped and fell.

Was that someone you?

You may have longed for added strength,

Your courage to renew.

Do not be disheartened,

For I have news for you.

It is no secret what God can do.

What He's done for others, He'll do for you.

With arms wide open, He'll pardon you.

It is no secret what God can do.

There is no night for in His light

You never walk alone.

Always feel at home,

Wherever you may go.

There is no power can conquer you

While God is on your side.

Take Him at His promise,

Don't run away and hide.

It is no secret what God can do.

What He's done for others, He'll do for you.

With arms wide open, He'll pardon you.

It is no secret what God can do.

Mean Woman Blues lyrics - Elvis Presley

I got a woman,

Mean as she can be

I got a woman,

Mean as she can be

Sometimes I think

She's almost mean as me

A black cat up and died of fright

'Cause she crossed his path last night

Oh, I got a woman

Mean as she can be

Sometimes I think

She's almost mean as me

She kiss so hard, she bruise my lips

Hurts so good, my heart just flips

Oh, I got a woman

Mean as she can be

Sometimes I think

She's almost mean as me

The strangest gal I ever had

Never happy 'less she's mad

Oh, I got a woman

Mean as she can be

Sometimes I think

She's almost mean as me

She makes love without a smile

Ooh, hot dog that drives me wild

Oh, I got a woman

Mean as she can be

Sometimes I think

She's almost mean as me

(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear lyrics - Elvis Presley

Baby let me be

Your lovin' Teddy Bear

Put a chain around my neck

And lead me anywhere

Oh let me be (oh let him be)

Your teddy bear

I don't wanna be a tiger

Cause tigers play too rough

I don't wanna be a lion

'Cause lions ain't the kind

You love enough

I just wanna be

Your Teddy Bear

Put a chain around my neck

And lead me anywhere

Oh let me be (oh let him be)

Your Teddy Bear

Oh baby let me be

Around you every night

Run your fingers through my hair

And cuddle me real tight

Oh let me be (oh let him be)

Your Teddy Bear

I don't wanna be a tiger

Cause tigers play too rough

I don't wanna be a lion

Cause lions aren't the kind

You love enou-ou-ou-ough

Just wanna be your Teddy Bear

Put a chain around my neck

And lead me anywhere

Oh let me be (oh let him be)

Your teddy bear

Oh let me be (oh let him be)

(Your teddy bear)

I just wanna

Be your Teddy Bear (ooh)

Loving You lyrics - Elvis Presley

(Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)

I will spend my whole life through

loving you, loving you.

Winter, summer, spring-time, too,

loving you, loving you.

Makes no difference where I go or what I do.

You know that I'll always be loving you.

If I'm seen with someone new,

don't be blue, don't be blue.

I'll be faithful I'll be true;

always true, true to you.

There is only one for me, and you know who.

You know that I'll always be loving you.

Got A Lot O' Livin' To Do lyrics - Elvis Presley

(from "Loving You" soundtrack)

Oh yes I've got a lot o' living to do

A whole lot o' loving to do

Come on baby, to make it fun it takes two

Oh yes I've got a lot o' living to do

A whole lot o' loving to do

And there's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you

There's a moon that's big and bright in the milky way tonight

But the way you act you never would know it's there

So baby, time's a wasting

A lot of kisses I ain't been tasting

I don't know about you but I'm gonna get my share

Oh got a lot o' living to do

A whole lot o' loving to do

Come on baby, to make it fun it takes two

Oh yes I've got a lot o' living to do

A whole lot o' loving to do

And there's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you

There's a balmy little breeze

That's whistling through the trees

And it's telling you to pitch a little woo with me

Why don't you take a listen

You'll never know what you've been missing

Cuddle up a little closer and be my little honey bee

Oh got a lot o' living to do

A whole lot o' loving to do

Come on baby, to make it fun it takes two

Oh yes I've got a lot o' living to do

A whole lot o' loving to do

And there's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you

You're the prettiest thing I've seen

But you treat me so doggone mean

Ain't you got no heart, I'm dying to hold you near

Why do you keep me waiting

Why don't you start co-operating

And the things I say are things you want to hear

Oh got a lot o' living to do

A whole lot o' loving to do

Come on baby, to make it fun it takes two

Oh yes I've got a lot o' living to do

A whole lot o' loving to do

And there's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you

Lonesome Cowboy lyrics - Elvis Presley

(from "Loving You" soundtrack)

I am just a lonesome cowboy

And I'm travelling all alone

I ain't even got a nickel

To call my baby on the phone

Just beyond the mountain lies a city

And I hear it calling me

Saddle up and ride you lonesome cowboy

Here is where you'll find your destiny

In my dreams the lights shine bright and pretty

Near to me and yet so far

Will I always be a lonesome cowboy

Am I only reaching for a star

Ride. Ride, ride, ride along cowboy

Sing, sing, sing, sing a song cowboy

Will I ever leave this lonesome valley

Really see the lights that shine

Gotta find what lies beyond the mountain

Gotta rope and tie that dream of mine

I am just a lonesome cowboy

And I'm travelling all alone

If you don't call me baby

Then I'm never coming home

Hot Dog lyrics - Elvis Presley

(from "Loving You" soundtrack)

Hot dog, you say you're really coming back

Hot dog, I'm waiting at the railway track

Hot dog, you say you're coming home for good

Hot dog, I'm going to keep knocking on wood

And baby, I can hardly wait

I'm gonna meet you at the gate, hot dog

I fell in love with you and then you went away

But now you're coming home to stay

Hot dog, soon everything will be all right

Hot dog, we're gonna have a ball tonight

I've got a pocketful of dimes

It's gonna be just like old times, hot dog

You went away and every day was misery

But now you're coming back to me

Hot dog, my heart is gonna go insane

Hot dog, when you come walking off the train

Oh how lonely I have been

But when that Santa Fe pulls in

Hot dog, baby, baby, hot dog

Party lyrics - Elvis Presley

(from "Loving You" soundtrack)

I feel it in my leg,

I feel it in my shoe

Tell me pretty baby

If you think you feel it too

Let's have a party

Let's have a party

Send to the store

And let's buy some more

And let's have a party tonight

Some people like to rock

Some people like to roll

But movin' and a groovin'

Gonna satisfy my soul

I've never kissed a bear

I've never kissed a goon

But I can shake a chicken

In the middle of the room

Now Honky Tonky Joe

Is knockin' at the door

Bring him in and fill him up

And set him on the floor

Blueberry Hill lyrics - Elvis Presley

I found my thrill on blueberry hill

On blueberry hill when I found you

The moon stood still on blueberry hill

And lingered until my dreams came true

The wind in the willow played

Love's sweet melody

But all of those vows we made

Were never to be

Tho' we're apart, you're part of me still

For you were my thrill on blueberry hill

True Love lyrics - Elvis Presley

(from "Loving You" soundtrack)

Suntanned, windblown, honeymooners at last alone

Feeling far above par, oh how lucky we are

While I give to you and you give to me

True love, true love

So, on and on it will always be

True love, true love

For you and I have a guardian angel on high

With nothing to do but to give to you

And to give to me love forever true

Don't Leave Me Now lyrics - Elvis Presley

Don't leave me now

Now that I need you

How blue and lonely I'd be

If you should say we're through

Don't break my heart

This heart that loves you

They'll just be nothing for me

If you should leave me now

(Don't leave me now)

What good is dreamin'

If I must dream all alone by myself

Without you darling

My arms would gather dust

Like a book on a shelf

Come to these arms

These arms that need you

Don't close your eyes to my plea

Don't leave me now

Don't close your eyes to my plea

Don't you leave me now

(Don't you leave me now)

Have I Told You Lately That I Love You? lyrics - Elvis Presley

(from "Loving You" soundtrack)

Have I told you lately that I love you?

Could I tell you once again somehow?

Have I told with all my heart and soul how I adore you?

Well darling I'm telling you now

Have I told you lately when I'm sleeping

Every dream I dream is you somehow?

Have I told you why the nights are long

When you're not with me?

Well darling I'm telling you now

My heart would break in two if I should lose you

I'm no good without you anyhow

And have I told you lately that I love you

Well darling I'm telling you now

My heart would break in two if I should lose you

I'm no good without you anyhow

And have I told you lately that I love you

Well darling I'm telling you now

Well darling I'm telling you now

I Need You So lyrics - Elvis Presley

(from "Loving You" soundtrack)

I need you so

To keep me happy

If I can't have you

I cannot go on

I need your arms

Around me tightly

Yes, I miss them nightly

When you're not at home

When the day is done

I miss you so

I lie and wait

To hear you knock on the door

When you leave me

I try not to worry

Come back in a hurry

'Cause I need you so

When the day is done

I miss you so

I lie and wait

To hear you knock on the door

When you leave me

I try not to worry

Come back in a hurry

'Cause I need you so

Elvis '56 (1956)

Rip It Up lyrics - Elvis Presley

'Cause it's Saturday nite and I just got paid

Fool about my money don't try to save

My heart says go, go

Have a time 'cause it's Saturday nite

And I'm feelin' fine

I'm gonna rip it up

I'm gonna rock it up

I'm gonna shake it up

I'm gonna ball it up

I'm gonna rip it up

And ball tonite

I got a date and I won't be late

Pick her up in my '88'

Shag it on down to the union hall

When the music starts jumpin'

I'll have a ball

Along about 10 I'll be flying high

Rocking on out into the sky

I don't care if I spend my gold

'Cause tonite I'm gonna be one happy soul

Love Me lyrics - Elvis Presley

(Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)

Treat me like a fool,

Treat me mean and cruel,

But love me.

Wring my faithful heart,

Tear it all apart,

But love me.

If you ever go,

Darling, I'll be oh so lonely

I'll be sad and blue,

Crying over you, dear only.

I would beg and steal

Just to feel your heart

Beatin' close to mine

Well, if you ever go,

Darling, I'll be oh so lonely

I'll be sad and blue,

Crying over you, dear only.

I would beg and steal

Just to feel your heart

Beatin' close to mine

Well, if you ever go,

Darling, I'll be oh so lonely

Beggin' on my knees,

All I ask is please, please love me

Oh yeah

When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again lyrics - Elvis Presley

When my blue moon turns to gold again

When my rainbow turns the clouds away

When my blue moon turns to gold again

You'll be back within my arms to stay

When the memories that linger in our hearts

Memories that make my heart cold

However some day they'll live again sweetheart

And my blue moon again will turn to gold

Long Tall Sally lyrics - Elvis Presley

Gonna tell Aunt Mary 'bout Uncle John

He says he has the blues but

He has a lotta fun

Oh baby, yes baby, whoo-oo-oo-oo baby

Havin' some fun tonight yeah well!

Long tall Sally has a lot on the ball

And nobody cares if she's long and tall

Oh baby, yes baby, whoo-oo-oo-oo baby,

I'm having me some fun tonight

Well, I saw uncle John

With long tall Sally

He saw Aunt Mary comin'

And he ducked back in the alley

Oh baby, yes baby, whoo-oo-oo-oo baby

I'm havin' some fun tonight

First In Line lyrics - Elvis Presley

When they gave out eyes like diamonds

That would shame the stars that shine

My darlin' my darlin'

You were the first in line

When they gave out lips like honey

That hold a new thrill every time

My darlin' my darlin'

You were the first in line

There may be others

that know you longer

Who pledge their hearts to you

But there's no other

could love you stronger

Any stronger than I do

Don't refuse me, say you'll choose me

I'm yours, oh please be mine

My darlin' say I'm your darlin'

The first, and the last in line

Paralyzed lyrics - Elvis Presley

When you looked into my eyes

I stood there like I was hyp-notised

You sent a feeling to my spine

A feeling warm and smooth and fine

But all I could do were stand there paralyzed

When we kissed, ooh what a thrill

You took my hand and, ooh baby, what a chill

I felt like grabbin' you real tight

Squeeze and squeeze with all my might

But all I could do were stand there paralyzed

Oh yeah lucky me, I'm singing ev'ry day

Ever since that day you came my way

You made my life for me just one big happy game

I'm gay ev'ry morning

At night I'm still the same

Do you remember that wonderful time

You held my hand and swore that you'll be mine

In front of preacher you said

"I do" I couldn't say a word for thinking of you

All I could do was stand there paralyzed

So Glad You're Mine lyrics - Elvis Presley

My baby's long and tall,

She's like a cannonball.

Say, everytime she loves me,

Lordly, you can hear me squall.

She cried, Ooo-wee.

I believe I'll change my mind.

She said, "I'm so glad I'm living".

I cried, "I'm so glad you're mine".

My baby knows just how

To treat me right.

Gives me plenty loving

Morning, noon, and night.

She cried, Ooo-wee.

I believe I'll change my mind.

She said, "I'm so glad I'm living".

I cried, "I'm so glad you're mine".

When my baby does what she does to me,

I climb the highest mountain,

Dive in the deepest sea.

She cried, Ooo-wee.

I believe I'll change my mind.

She said, "I'm so glad I'm living".

I cried, "I'm so glad you're mine".

My baby's lips are red

And sweet like wine,

And when she kisses me,

I get high every time.

She cried, Oo-wee.

I believe I'll change my mind.

She said, "I'm so glad I'm living".

I cried, "I'm so glad you're mine".

Old Shep lyrics - Elvis Presley

When I was a lad

And old Shep was a pup

Over hills and meadows we'd stray

Just a boy and his dog

We were both full of fun

We grew up together that way

I remember the time at the old swimmin' hole

When I would have drowned beyond doubt

But old Shep was right there

To the rescue he came

He jumped in and then pulled me out

As the years fast did roll

Old Shep he grew old

His eyes were fast growing dim

And one day the doctor looked at me and said

I can do no more for him Jim

With hands that were trembling

I picked up my gun

And aimed it at Shep's faithful head

I just couldn't do it

I wanted to run

I wish they would shoot me instead

He came to my side

And looked up at me

And laid his old head on my knee

I had struck the best friend that a man ever had

I cried so I scarcely could see

Old Shep he has gone

Where the good doggies go

And no more with old Shep will I roam

But if dogs have a heaven

There's one thing I know

Old Shep has a wonderful home

Ready Teddy lyrics - Elvis Presley

Ready set go man go

I got a gal that I love so

I'm rea-dy rea-dy rea-dy teddy

I'm rea-dy rea-dy rea-dy teddy

I'm rea-dy rea-dy rea-dy teddy

Rea-dy rea-dy rea-dy to

Rock'n'roll

Going down to the corner

Pick up my sweetie pie

She's my rock'n'roll baby

She's the apple of my eye, 'cause

Flat top cats and the dungaree dolls

Are headed for the gym to the sock hop ball

The joint is really jumping

The cats are going wild

The music really sends me

I dig that crazy style 'cause

Gonna kick off my shoes

Roll up my faded jeans

Grab my rock'n'roll baby

Pour on the steam

I shuffle to the left

I shuffle to the right

I'm gonna rock'n'roll

Till the early early night 'cause

Anyplace Is Paradise lyrics - Elvis Presley

Whether you're riding down a highway

Or walkin' down a street

It makes no difference baby

I'm gonna love you just as mean

'Cause holdin' your little hand

Makes me feel so very nice

Anyplace is paradise

When I'm with you

Whether we're standin' on a doorstep

Or sittin' at a park

Or strollin' down shady lane

Or dancin' in the dark

Well I can take you in my arms

And look into your pretty eyes

Anyplace is paradise

When I'm with you

Give me a cave up in the mountain

Or a shack down by the sea

And I will be in heaven honey

If you are there with me

Well kiss your pretty lips

See the love-light in your eyes

Anyplace is paradise

When I'm with you

Baby I'd live deep in the jungle

And sleep up in a tree

And let the rest of the world go be

If you were there with me

Well I could love you all the time

Baby, a jungle would be fine

Anyplace is paradise

When I'm with you

How's The World Treating You? lyrics - Elvis Presley

I've had nothing but sorrow

Since you said we were through

There's no hope for tomorrow

How's the world treating you?

Every sweet thing that mattered

Has been broken in two

All my dreams have been shattered

How's the world treating you?

Got no plans for next Sunday

Got no plans for today

Every day is blue Monday

Every day you're away

Every sweet thing that mattered

Has been broken in two

And I'm asking you darling

How's the world treating you?

How Do You Think I Feel lyrics - Elvis Presley

How do you think I feel?

Well, I know your love's not real

The girl I'm mad about is just a gadabout

How do you think I feel?

How do you think we stand?

Well, I know you've made your plans

But you've included three

And that's too much for me

How do you think I feel?

I won't be true again

I know that I can't win

So why should I pretend

That you still love me?

How do you think I feel?

Well, I know your love's not real

The one I'm mad about is just a gadabout

How do you think I feel?

How do you think I feel?

Well, I know your love's not real

The girl I'm mad about is just a gadabout

How do you think I feel?

Well, how do you think we stand?

I know you've made your plans

Another's pretty face

Has put me out of place

How do you think I feel?

I won't be true again

I know that I can't win

So why should I pretend

That you still love me?

How do you think I feel?

Well, I know your love's not real

And you've included three

And that's too much for me

How do you think I feel?

Elvis Presley (1956)

Blue Suede Shoes lyrics - Elvis Presley

Well, it's one for the money

Two for the show

Three to get ready

Now go, cat, go

But don't you

Step on my blue suede shoes

You can do anything

But stay off of my blue suede shoes

Well, you can knock me down

Step in my face

Slander my name

All over the place

Do anything that you want to do

But uh-uh, honey

Lay off of my shoes

Don't you step on my blue suede shoes

Well, you can do anything

But stay off of my blue suede shoes

Blue suede shoes

Well, you can do anything

But stay off of my blue suede shoes!

I'm Counting On You lyrics - Elvis Presley

Still could not say

How much I need you so in every way

I hope you will guide me

As only you can do

Hold my hands down beside me

To always come through dear

In your kind lovin' way

If you knew just how deeply

I feel things you do

Then you know how completely

Around the dawn of each day

To always come true, dear

In your kind lovin' way

If you knew just how deeply

I feel things you do

Then you know how completely

I'm counting on you

I Love You Because lyrics - Elvis Presley

I love you because you understand dear

Every single thing I try to do.

You're always there to lend a helping hand, dear.

I love you most of all because you're you.

No matter what the world may say about me,

I know your love will always see me through.

I love you for the way you never doubt me.

But most of all I love you 'cause you're you.

I love you because, because my heart is ligther

honey everytime, everytime I'm walking by your side

and I love you, yes I love you because the future is a little bit brighter

and the door, the door of my happiness, you open wide

No matter what may be the style or season,

I know your heart will always be true.

I love you for a hundred thousand reasons,

But most of all I love you 'cause you're you.

Just Because lyrics - Elvis Presley

Well, well, well,

Just because you think you're so pretty,

And just because your momma thinks you're hot,

Well, just because you think you've got something

That no other girl has got,

You've caused me to spend all my money.

You laughed and called me old Santa Claus.

Well, I'm telling you,

Baby, I'm through with you.

Because, well well, just because.

Well, well, well,

There'll come a time when you'll be lonesome

And there'll come a time when you'll be blue.

Well, there'll come a time when old Santa

He won't pay your bills for you.

You've caused me to lose all my women

And now, now you say we are through.

Well, I'm telling you

Baby, I was through with you

A long long time ago.

Well, just because you think you're so pretty

And just because your mama thinks you're the hottest thing in

town

Well, just because you think you've got something

That nobody else has got,

You've caused me to spend all of my money.

Honey, you laughed and called me your old Santa Claus.

Well, I'm telling you I'm through with you

Because, well well, just because.

Tutti Frutti lyrics - Elvis Presley

Wop-bop-a-loom-a-boom-bam-boom tutti frutti

au rutti tutti frutti au rutti tutti frutti

au rutti tutti frutti au rutti tutti frutti

au rutti wop-bop-a-loom-bop-a-boom-bam-boom

Got a gal named Sue

She knows just what to do

She rocks to the east

She rocks to the west

She's the gal I love best

I got a gal named Daisy

She almost drives me crazy

She knows how to love me

Yes indeed, boy you don't know

What she does to me

Trying To Get To You lyrics - Elvis Presley

I've been traveling over mountains

Even through the valleys, too

I've been traveling night and day

I've been running all the way

Baby, trying to get to you.

Ever since I read your letter

Where you said you loved me true

I've been traveling night and day

I've been running all the way

baby, trying to get to you

When I read your loving letter

Then my heart began to sing

There were many miles between us,

But they didn't mean a thing.

I just had to reach you, baby,

In spite of all that I've been through.

I kept traveling night and day,

I kept running all the way,

Baby, trying to get to you.

Well if I had to do it over

That's exactly what I'd do,

I would travel night and day,

And I'd still run all the way,

Baby, trying to get to you.

Well, there's nothing that could hold me

Or that could keep me away from you

When your loving letter told me

That you really loved me true

Lord above me knows I love you

It was He who brought me through,

When my way was dark as night,

He would shine His brightest light,

When I was trying to get to you.

I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Cry (Over You) lyrics - Elvis Presley

I'm gonna sit right down and cry over you

I'm gonna sit right down and cry over you

And if you say good-bye

If you ever even try

I'm gonna sit right down and cry over you

I'm gonna love you more and more every day

I'm gonna love you more and more in every way

And if you say good-bye

If you ever even try

I'm gonna sit right down and cry over you

I'm gonna tell my mama tell my papa too

So they'll know exactly what I'm gonna do

And if you say good-bye

Say if you ever even try

I'll Never Let You Go (Lil' Darlin') lyrics - Elvis Presley

I'll never let you go, little darlin'.

I'm so sorry 'cause I made you cry.

I'll never let you go, 'cause I love you.

So please don't ever say good-bye.

The stars would tumble down beside me,

The moon would hang its head and cry.

My arms would never hold another baby doll

If we should ever say good-bye.

Well, I'll never let you go,

Because I love you, pretty baby.

I'm so sorry 'cause I made you cry.

I made you cry.

Yeah, I'll never let you go,

'Cause I love you, little baby.

So please don't ever say good-bye.

Blue Moon lyrics - Elvis Presley

(R. Rodgers - L. Hart)

Blue moon

You saw me standing alone

Without a dream in my heart

Without a love of my own

Blue moon

You knew just what I was there for

You heard me saying a prayer for

Someone I really could care for

Blue moon

You saw me standing alone

Without a dream in my heart

Without a love of my own

Blue moon...

Without a love of my own

Money Honey lyrics - Elvis Presley

(J. Stone)

You know, the landlord rang my front door bell.

I let it ring for a long, long spell.

I went to the window,

I peeped through the blind,

And asked him to tell me what's on his mind.

He said,

Money, honey.

Money, honey.

Money, honey, if you want to get along with me.

Well, I screamed and I hollered,

I was so hard-pressed.

I called the woman that I loved the best.

I finally got my baby about half past three,

She said I'd like to know what you want with me.

I said,

Money, honey.

Money, honey.

Money, honey,

If you want to get along with me.

Well, I said tell me baby, what's wrong with you?

From this day on our romance is through

I said, tell me baby, face to face

How could another man take my place?

She said,

Money, honey.

Money, honey.

Money, honey,

If you want to get a long with me.

Well, I've learned my lesson and now I know

The sun may shine and the winds may blow.

The women may come and the women may go,

But before I say I love you so,

I want

Money, honey.

Money, honey.

Money, honey,

If you want to get along with me.

Cottonfields lyrics - Elvis Presley

When I was a little baby

My mother would rock me in the cradle

In them old, old cotton fields at home

When I was a little baby

My mother would rock me in the cradle

In them old, old cotton fields at home

Oh, when them cotton balls get rotten

You couldn't pick very much cotton

In them old cotton fields at home

It was down in Louisiana

Just a mile from Texarkana

In them old, old cotton fields at home

It may sound a little funny

But, you didn't make very much money

In them old cotton fields at home

It may sound a little funny

But, you didn't make very much money

In them old cotton fields at home

Oh, when them cotton balls get rotten

You couldn't pick very much cotton

In them old cotton fields at home

It was down in Louisiana

Just a mile from Texarkana

In them old cotton fields at home

I was over in Arkansas

People ask me, "What you come here for?"

In them old cotton fields at home

I was over in Arkansas

People ask me, "What you come here for?"

In them old, old cotton fields at home

Oh, when those cotton balls get rotten

You can't pick very much cotton

In them old cotton fields at home

It was down in Louisiana

Just a mile from Texarkana

In them old cotton fields at home

Oh, when those cotton balls get rotten

You can't pick very much cotton

In them old, old cotton fields at home

It was down in Louisiana

Just a mile from Texarkana

Danny lyrics - Elvis Presley

My name should be trouble

My name should be woe

For trouble and heartache

Is all that I know

But Danny, yes, Danny is my name

My life has been empty

My heart has been torn

It must have been rainy, oh yeah,

The night I was born

Oh Danny, oh Danny is my name

I'm so afraid of tomorrow

So tired of today

They say that love is the answer

But love never came my way

I'm writing a letter

To someone I know

So if you should find it

And if you're alone

Oh Danny, yes, Danny is my name

Oh Danny, yes, Danny is my name

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Early Morning Rain lyrics - Elvis Presley

In the early mornin' rain

With a dollar in my hand

And an aching in my heart

And my -pockets full of sand

I'm a long ways from home

And I missed my loved one so

In the early mornin' rain

With no place to go

Out on runway number nine

Big 707 set to go

Well I'm out here on the grass

Where the pavement never grows

Where the liquor tasted good

And the women all were fast

There she goes my friend

She's rolling out at last

Hear the mighty engines roar

See the silver wing on high

She's away and westward bound

For above the clouds she flies

Where the mornin' rain don't fall

And the sun always shines

She'll be flying over my home

In about three hours time

This ol' airport's got me down

It's no earthly good to me

'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground

Cold and drunk as I might be

Can't jump a jet plane

Like you can a freight train

So I best be on my way

In the early mornin' rain

So I best be on my way

In the early mornin' rain

So I best be on my way

In the early mornin' rain

Fool, Fool, Fool lyrics - Elvis Presley

Fool, fool, fool

That I was to fall for you.

Well, fool, fool, fool

That I was to fall for you.

Well, I know what a fool I was

To think that you could love me, too.

Well, well, when I first met you, baby,

Well, I knew I couldn't win,

But I just kept right on trying,

'Cause trying is no sin.

What a fool, fool, fool,

That I was to fall for you.

Well, I know what a fool I was

To think that you could love me, too.

Well, when I first met you, baby,

Well, I knew I couldn't win,

But I just kept right on trying,

'Cause trying is no sin.

What a fool that I was to fall for you.

Well, I know what a fool I was

To think that you could love me too.

Harbor Lights lyrics - Elvis Presley

I saw the harbor lights

They only told me we were parting

Those same old harbor lights

That once brought you to me.

I watched the harbor lights

How could I help it?

Tears were starting.

Good-bye to golden nights

Beside the silvery seas.

I long to hold you dear,

And kiss you just once more.

But you were on the ship,

And I was on the shore.

Now I know lonely nights

For all the while my heart keeps praying

That someday harbor lights

Will bring you back to me.

I Don't Care If The Sun Don't Shine lyrics - Elvis Presley

Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine.

I get my lovin' in the evening time

When I'm with my baby.

Well, it ain't no fun with the sun around.

I get going when the sun goes down

And I'm with my baby.

Well, that's when we're gonna kiss and kiss

and kiss and kiss,

And we're gonna kiss some more.

Who cares how many times we kiss,

'Cause at a time like this, who keeps score?

Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine

I get my loving in the evening time

When I meet my baby.

And it don't matter if it's sleet or snow,

The drive-in's cozy when the lights are low

And I'm with my baby.

Makes no difference if the rain comes down

I don't notice when she's around.

Oh boy, what a baby.

Well, that's when we're gonna kiss and kiss

and kiss and kiss

and

We're gonna kiss some more.

Well, one kiss from my baby doll

Makes me hot...

More more more more.

Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine

I get my loving in the evening time

When I'm with my baby.

Well, that's when we're gonna kiss and kiss

and kiss and kiss

and

We're gonna kiss some more.

Well, one kiss from my baby doll

Makes me hot...

More more more more.

Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine

I get my loving in the evening time

When I'm with my baby.

I Shall Be Released lyrics - Elvis Presley

(originally by Bob Dylan)

They say everything can be replaced

They say every distance is not near

So I remember every face

Of every man who put me here

I see my light come shining

From the west down to the east

Any day now, any day now

I shall be released

They say every man needs protection

They say that every man must fall

Yet I swear I see my reflection

Somewhere so high above this wall

I see my light come shining

From the west down to the east

Any day now, any day now

I shall be released

Now yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd

A man who swears he's not to blame

All day long I hear him shouting so loud

Crying out that he was framed

I see my light come shining

From the west down to the east

Any day now, any day now

I shall be released

I'll Hold You In My Heart lyrics - Elvis Presley

I said I'd hold, I said I'd hold,

I said I'd hold you in my heart 'till I can hold you in my arms

Like you've never been held before

Well I'll think of you each day and then I'll dream the night away

Oh, 'till you are in my arms once more

The stars up in the sky, you know they know the reason why

I feel so blue 'cause I'm away from you

Yeah I'll hold you in my heart 'till I can hold you in my arms

Oh darling please wait for me

You know the stars up in the sky, you know they know the reason why

I feel so blue 'cause I'm away, I'm away from you

Yeah I'll hold you in my heart 'till I can hold you in my arms

Oh darling please wait for me

The stars up in the sky you know they know the reason why...

I feel so blue 'cause I'm away, I'm away, I'm away, I'm away from you

I said, I said I'd hold you in my heart, heart, heart 'till I can hold you in my arms

Oh darling please wait for me

The stars up in the sky, you know they know the reason why

I, I feel so blue 'cause I'm away, I'm away from you

Yeah, I'll hold you in my heart 'till I can hold you in my arms

Oh darling please wait for me

Let Me lyrics - Elvis Presley

Whenever I dance with the girl I love

My head goes round and round

When she's close to me

I can't stay on the ground

Whenever I dance with the girl I love

I never have a care

All night I'm so light

I walk right on the air

Oh let me, oh honey let me

Let me do what you know I love to do

Please take another chance and let me

Let me have another dance with you

Whenever I feel those pretty arms

Reaching round about

That feeling goes to my toes

And all the lights go out, go out, go out

Whenever I see those eyes of blue

Smiling up so shy

I'm in such a spin I take right off and fly

So let me, oh honey let me

Let me do what you know I love to do

Please take another chance and let me

Let me have another dance with you

So let me dance in the arms I love

Thrill me through and through

I'm so drunk with love

That all I see is you

I never hear the music play

I never see the crowd

Only you and me

Dancing on a cloud

Oh let me, oh honey let me

Let me do what you know I love to do

Please take another chance and let me

Let me have, another dance, with you

Mama Liked The Roses lyrics - Elvis Presley

Oh, mama liked the roses she grew them in the yard

But Winter always came around and made the growing way too hard

Oh, mama liked the roses and when she had the time

She'd decorate the living room, for all us kids to see

When I hear the Sunday bells ringing in the morning

I remember crying when she used to sing

Oh, mama liked the roses but most of all she cared

About the way we learned to live

And if we said our prayers

You know I kept the family bible

With a rose that she saved inside

It was pressed between the pages

Like it had found a place to hide

Oh, mama liked the roses in such a special way

We bring them every Mother's Day

And put them on her grave

Oh, mama liked the roses, mmm

Mama liked the roses

Mona Lisa lyrics - Elvis Presley

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, man have named you

You're so like the lady with the mystic smile

Is it only 'cause you're lonely man have blamed you

For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile

Do you smile to tempt a lover Mona Lisa

Or is it your way to hide a broken heart

Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep

They just lie there and they die there

Are you warm, are you real Mona Lisa

Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art

La la la la...

For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile

Do you smile to tempt a lover Mona Lisa

Or is it your way to hide a broken heart

Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep

They just lie there and they die there

Are you warm, are you real Mona Lisa

Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art

My Happiness lyrics - Elvis Presley

Evening shadows make me blue

When each weary day is through

How I long to be with you

My happiness

Every day I reminesce

Dreaming of your tender kiss

Always thinking how I miss

My happiness

A million years it seems

Have gone by since we shared our dreams

But I'll hold you again

There'll be no blue memories then

Whether skies are grey or blue

Any place on earth will do

Just as long as I'm with you

My happiness

A million years it seems

Have gone by since we shared our dreams

But I'll hold you again

There'll be no blue memories then

Whether skies are grey or blue

Any place on earth will do

Just as long as I'm with you

My happiness

Oh How I Love Jesus lyrics - Elvis Presley

Oh, how I love Jesus

Oh, how I love Jesus

Oh, how I love Jesus

Because He first loved me

When I am discouraged

And I feel the gloom

God sends His angel

To see Him my broom

I hear the singing

I'm satisfied

I know, I know

That Jesus is mine

Oh, how I love Jesus (He is so wonderful)

Oh, how I love Jesus (He is so wonderful)

Oh, how I love Jesus (He is so wonderful)

To know that Jesus is mine

Oh, how I love Jesus (He is so wonderful)

Oh, how I love Jesus (He is so wonderful)

Oh, how I love Jesus (He is so wonderful)

To know that Jesus is mine

Rock Of Ages / Hide Thou Me lyrics - Elvis Presley

Sometimes I feel discouraged

And take my work in pain

I'm tempted all to [?]

To grubble and complain

But then I think of Jesus

And what He bore for me

Than I cry to the rock of ages

I doubt me

Oh, rock of ages, hide thou me

There is no other refuge

Can save but thee

Through this old world

I've wandered so far, far from thee

Then I cry

To the rock of ages

Hide thou me

Oh, rock of ages, hide thou me

There is no other refuge

Can save but thee

Through this old world

I've wandered so far, far from thee

Then I cry

To the rock of ages

Hide thou me

Oh, rock of ages, hide thou me

There is no other refuge

Can save but thee

Through this old world

I've wandered so far, far from thee

Then I cry

To the rock of ages

Hide thou Me

Hide thou Me

Separate Ways lyrics - Elvis Presley

I see a change is coming to our lives

It's not the same as it used to be

And it's not too late to realize our mistake

We're just not right for each other

Love has slipped away left us only friends

We almost seem like strangers

All that's left between us are the memories we shared

Of times we thought we cared for each other

There's nothing left to do but go our separate ways

And pick up all the pieces left behind us

And maybe someday, somewhere along the way

Another love will find us

Some day when she's older

maybe she will understand

Why her mom and dad are not together

The tears that she will cry when

I have to say goodbye

Will tear at my heart forever

There's nothing left to do but go our separate ways

And pick up all the pieces left behind us

And maybe someday, somewhere along the way

Another love will find us

Show Me Thy Ways, O Lord lyrics - Elvis Presley

Show me Thy ways, O Lord

Show me Thy ways, O Lord

Help me love when I'm hated

Spread joy unabated

Show me Thy ways, O Lord

Jesus was more than just a man from Galilee

Christ, the son of God, he died for you and me

They discouraged him and walked him upon in delight

Still Jesus loved them, forgave and He cried

Show me Thy ways, O Lord

Show me Thy ways, O Lord

Help me love when I'm hated

Spread joy unabated

Show me Thy ways, O Lord

Show me Thy ways, O Lord

Help me love when I'm hated

Spread joy unabated

Show me Thy ways, O Lord

Tell Me Why lyrics - Elvis Presley

Every time I look at someone new

Tell me why I think of you

Then you sometimes ask me by

You're playing with love

Darling tell me why

You left me all alone

To cry over you

My heart is torn and broken

There's nothing left to do

In my prayers, I'll mention you

When you're gone I feel so blue

Why can't I have all of you

Oh, somebody, please tell me why

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face lyrics - Elvis Presley

(originally by Ewan MacColl)

The first time ever I saw your face

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave

To the dark and the empty skies my love

To the dark and the empty skies

The first time ever I kissed your mouth

I felt the earth move in my hands

Like a trembling heart of a captive bird

That was there at my command my love

That was there at my command

Hoa hoa hoa oh oh oh oh oh oh

Woh oh oh oh hoa hoa hoa

Oh hoa hoa hoa hoa hoa hoa

That was there at my command my love

That was there at my command

The first time ever I kissed your mouth

I felt the earth move in my hands

Like a trembling heart of a captive bird

That was there at my command my love

That was there at my command

Hoa hoa hoa oh oh oh oh oh oh

Woh oh oh oh hoa hoa hoa

Oh hoa hoa hoa hoa hoa hoa

That was there at my command my love

That was there at my command

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus / Nearer My God To Thee lyrics - Elvis Presley

Hmmm.....

And all the world go free

Now there's a cross for everyone

And there's a cross for me

Turn your eyes upon Jesus

Look full in His wonderful face,

And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,

In the light of His Wonderful grace.

Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!

E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me,

Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Nearer to Thee!

Wild In The Country lyrics - Elvis Presley

A rose grows wild in the country

A tree grows tall as the sky

The wind blows wild in the country

And part of the wild, wild country, am I

Wild, wild, like the deer and the dove

Wild and free is this land that I love

A dream grows wild in the country

A love grows tall as the sky

A heart beats wild in the country

And here with a dream in my heart

Part of the wild, wild country, am I

You Better Run lyrics - Elvis Presley

(Well now you'd better run)
Run when I say, somebody's calling you
You'd better run
Run when I say, (somebody's calling you)
You'd better run
Run when I say, (somebody's calling you)
I feel like my time has long gone
Long gone, (my time is long gone)

Well now goodbye false pretender
Lord I cannot wait for you
For the bible declares you're goin' to heaven Lord
What the bible declares you do

(Well now you'd better run)
Run when I say, somebody's calling you
You'd better run
Run when I say, (somebody's calling you)
You'd better run
Run when I say, (somebody's calling you)
I feel like my time has long gone
Long gone, (my time is long gone)
Long gone

Well I met a false pretender
Whose head was bending Lord
I met him in the evening
He was headed down that long lonesome road

(Well now you'd better run)
Run when I say, somebody's calling you
You'd better run
Run when I say, (somebody's calling you)
You'd better run
Get away from here, somebody's calling you
I feel like my time has long gone
Long gone, (my time is long gone), long gone
