Elvis Presley : Love Letters from Elvis
Les paroles
1. Love Letters
(Heyman - Young)
Love letters straight from your heart
Keep us so near while apart
I'm not alone in the night
When I can have all the love you write
I memorize every line
And I kiss the name that you sign
And darling then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart
2. When I'm Over You
(Milete)
When I'm over you there'll be darkness where my soul has been
And no light will ever shine again when I'm o-over you
When you're leavin' is over and there's not another tear to cry
In the silence of that last goodbye just remember, remember this
When I'm over you there'll be darkness where my soul has been
And no light will ever shine again when I'm over, over you.
Ooh-ooh-ooh
When I'm over you there'll be darkness, darkness where my soul has been
And no light will ever shine again when I'm over, over you.
When I'm over you there'll be darkness, darkness, darkness where my soul has been
And no light will ever, ever shine again when I'm over you.
3. If I Were You
(Nelson)
The sandman comes to my house late each night
But it's way in the morning before he turns out my light
It's times like this my darling I can see
If I were you I'd know that I love me
The great snowman I've been called by all
But it looks like this time I'm gonna fall
It's times like this my darling I can see
Oooh If I were you I'd know that I love me
Wind and rain and storm closin' in on me
I've walked the streets alone with my self sympathy
Can you hear me saying hopefully?
Oooh yeah, if I were you I'd know that I love me
Wind and rain and storm closin' in on me
I've walked the streets alone with my self sympathy
Can you hear me saying hopefully?
If I were you I'd know that I love me
Oooh If I were you I'd know that I love me
If I were you I'd know that I love me

5. Heart Of Rome
(Stephens / Blaikley / Howard)
In a little while you're leavin'
Starting on the journey home
Soon I'll be alone, the one who loves you
La la la la la, somewhere in the heart of Rome
I'll make a wish in every fountain
Say a pray'r that you'll return
Minutes I'll be countin'
May the fire of love still burn
I'll keep your picture by my pillow
And pretend I'm not alone
Make believe that you are with me
La la la la la, in the heart of Rome
Suddenly the tears are fallin'
As we hear the whistle blow
Hold me very close before you leave me
La la la la la, somewhere in the heart of Rome
6. Only Believe
(Rader)
Lordy only believe, only believe
All things are possible
If you'll only believe
My Lordy, only believe, yes only believe
All things are possible
If you'll only believe
I met God one morning my soul feelin' bad
Heart heavy laden I felt tired down in
Well He lifted all my burdens, yeh! right now I'm feelin' glad
All things are possible
If you'll only believe
I believe, yeh! I believe,
All things are possible
If you'll only believe
7. This Is Our Dance
(Reed / Stephens)
We had a real good evening
Now all our friends are leaving
Soon we'll be alone
Wait till everybody has gone
Then play just one more song
'Cos this is our dance
Darling remember, it's our dance
Loving and tender
I'll take you away, take you away
In my arms
Yes this is our dance, now we're together
For our dance can't last forever
And nobody knows just what tomorrow will bring
So let our dance begin
We'll turn the light down low now
I'll never let you go now
You're here in my arms
And when I hear you whisper you're mine
We'll play that song just one more time
8. Cindy, Cindy
(Kaye / Weisman / Fuller)
Wish I was an apple dangling from a tree
Every time you pass me by you'd take a bite of me
I wish I was a bluebird I'd never fly away
I'd sit up on your shoulder baby and sing to you all day
Come on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home Cindy Cindy
Come on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home with me
I wrote it in a letter, carved it on a tree
Told it to a honeycomb who told it to a bee
Told them that I love you, they all know it's true
I'll say it till the cows come home until it gets to you
Yeah ........... Yeah
Yeah I need you in the mornin' to start the coffee pot
I need you in the afternoon to fan me when it's hot
I need you in the evenin' when supper time is through
What I'm really tryin' to say is I gotta get enough of you
If I were a musician I'd harp on just one thing
You should never play my harp the way you pluck a string
If only you would love me sincerely tell me so
I'd beat the drums about it to let the whole world know
Come on home baby, huh, yeah, yeah
Come on home, come on home, come on home ........
9. I'll Never Know
(Karger / Wayne / Weisman)
How many stars are in the sky ? I'll never know
What fire lights a firefly ? I'll never know
What happens to this heart of mine each time you hold my hand ?
Sometimes the things we love the most
We never understand
I never thought these eyes would see an angel's glow
What miracle brought you to me ? I'll never know
10. It Ain't No Big Thing But It's Growing
(Merrit / Joy / Hall)
Your losing interest in me and it's showin'
It ain't no big thing but it's growing
The pain of heartbreak I've just started knowin'
Well, it ain't no big thing but it's growing
Every day the hurt grows bigger than before
But I'll pretend I don't notice
If I can hold you one day more
You've got the look of someone who is goin'
You're gonna leave me and it's showin'
A little tear I can feel start to flowing
It ain't no big thing but it's growing
Well every day the hurt grows bigger than before
But I'll pretend I don't notice
Well, if I can hold you one day more
You've got the look of someone who is goin'
Well, you're gonna leave me and it's showin'
A little tear I can feel start to flowing
Well it ain't no big thing but it's growing
No, it ain't no big thing but it's growing
11. Life
(Shirl Milete)
Somewhere out in empty space
Long before the human race
Something stirred
A vast and timeless source began
Intelligence was born and then
There was the Word
Powers filled the universe
Matter formed and broke the curse
Of nothingness
Love became an ageless soul
Nature reached her highest goal
And breathed the breath of life
Everlasting life
Well, creatures came from out of sight
Daylight came from in the night
And all was good
Life became a master plan
Love produced a perfect man
That understood
The image of the Maker's Word
Worshipped Him with all he had
But then one day
From in the depths an evil seed
Grew and manufactured greed
And changed the way of life
Everlasting life
Oh, the Loving Power looked and saw
Inside the heart of man a flaw
Began to grow
Well, the fires of Hell began to burn
And so He sent His chosen Son
To let us know
That love had surely made us all
And hate would surely make us fall
So from the cross
Well He showed the world that dreadful day
That love could be the only way
Or all is lost of life
everlasting life
For life is love and love is life
