Sylvia - Elvis Presley (1970) subtitled in portuguese (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

These long lonely evenings
Here I am on the phone
Wondering when she will call

She said she would write me
'Cause she knows I'm alone
But I hear nothing at all

I'm waiting for a word of love from Sylvia.
You think she'd never heard of love, my Sylvia,
But when I'm with her, Lord, I forgive her
'Cause she's more than the whole world to me

There's nothing like a word of love from Sylvia
The only one I'm thinking of is Sylvia
Feeling so sad now, I'll be so glad now
If I just had my Sylvia with me

That old weepin' willow
Seems to whisper her name
Why did she go away?
The tears on my pillow
They're not hard to explain
There's nothing else I can say

I'm waiting for a word of love from Sylvia.
You think she'd never heard of love, my Sylvia,
But when I'm with her, Lord, I forgive her
'Cause she's more than the whole world to me

There's nothing in the world like Sylvia
The only one I'm thinking of is Sylvia
Feeling so sad now, I'll be so glad now
If I just had my Sylvia with me

Moody blue - Elvis Presley (1976) (with lyrics)

In Charlotte, February 21 1977.




(Lyrics)

Well, it's hard to be a gambler
Bettin' on the number
That changes ev'ry time
When you think you're gonna win
Think she's givin' in
A stranger's all you find
Yeah, it's hard to figure out
What she's all about
That she's a woman through and through
She's a complicated lady,
So color my baby, moody blue,

Oh, Moody blue
Tell me am I gettin' through
I keep hangin' on
Trying to learn the song
But I never do
Oh, Moody blue,
Tell me who I'm talkin' to
You're like the night and day
And it's hard to say
Which one is you.

Well, when Monday comes she's Tuesday,
When Tuesday comes she's Wednesday,
Into another day again
Her personality unwinds
Just like a ball of twine
On a spool that never ends
Just when I think I know her well
Her emotions reveal,
She's not the person that
I though I knew
She's a complicated lady,
So color my baby, moody blue,

Oh, Moody blue
Tell me am I gettin' through
I keep hangin' on
Trying to learn the song
But I never do
Oh, Moody blue,
Tell me who I'm talkin' to
You're like the night and day
And it's hard to say
Which one is you.

Oh, Moody blue,
Tell me who I'm talkin' to
You're like the night and day
And it's hard to say
Which one is you.

Oh, Moody blue
Tell me am I gettin' through
I keep hangin' on
Trying to learn the song
But I never do
Let me tell you about moody blue

Something - Elvis Presley (1973 live) (with lyrics)

!970, rehersal






!973, From "Aloha from Hawaii"



(Lyrics)

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

Somewhere in her smile she knows
All I gotta do is think about her
Something in her style that shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

You're asking me will our love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around and it may show
I don't know, I don't know

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

You're asking me will our love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around and it may show
I don't know, I don't know

Something in the way she moves
All I gotta do is think about her
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

Junho, 1972 live at Madson Square Garden, NY




Rehearsal - take 2

(Lyrics)

Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
Haven't ever lost one minute of sleeping
Worried about the way things might have been

A big wheel keeps on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin', 

Rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on a river

Been a lot of places down in Memphis
I umped a lot of babes down in New Orleans
Had a lot of shots at good times in the city
Till I hitched a ride on a river bout queen

A big wheel keeps on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin', 

Rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on a river

If you come down to the river
I betcha you're gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry
'Cause you have no money
People along the river are happy to give

I said a big wheel keeps on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin',
Rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on a river
Rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on a river
Rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on a river ...

Oh Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed

(When Christ shall come
With shout of aclamation
To take me home, what joy shall fill my heart)

Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim:
Oh, my God, how great thou art

Then sings my soul, my savior God to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art

Then sings my soul my savior God to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art

I was born about ten thousand years ago - Elvis Presley (1970) (with lyrics)

In Studio, 1970, Nashville.




(Lyrics)

I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
I saved king David's life and he offered me a wife
I said now you're talking business have a chair

Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
Saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

I was there when old Noah built the ark
And I crawled in the window after dark
I saw Jonah eat the whale and dance with the lion's tale
And I crossed over Canaan on a log

Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago
Yeah, There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
Saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

I was there when old Noah built the ark
And I crawled in the window after dark
I saw Jonah eat the whale and dance with the lion's tale
And I crossed over Canaan on a log

Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know

Yeah, I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know

I saved king David's life and he offered me a wife
I said now you're talking business have a chair

Uhnnn, I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
Saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

ma ma ma ma ma ma... tan tan tan ...

I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water...

It ain't no big thing, (but it's growing) - Elvis Presley (1970) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

You're losing interest in me and it's showing
It ain't no big thing, but it's growing
The pain of heartbreak I've just started knowing
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 know this
If I can hold you one day more
You've got the look of someone who's going
You're gonna leave me and it's showing
A little tear I can feel start to flow
It ain't no big thing, but it's growing

(Instrumental)

Well, every day the hurt grows bigger than before
But I'll pretend I don't know this
Well, if I can hold you one day more
You've got the look of someone who's going
Well, you're gonna leave me and it's showing
A little tear I can feel start to flow
Well, it ain't no big, thing but it's growing
No, it ain't no big thing, but it's growing

Mary in the morning - Elvis Presley (1970) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning
When through the sleepy haze I see her lying there
Soft as the rain that falls on summer flowers
Warm as the sunlight shining on her golden hair

When I awake and see her there so close beside me
I want to take her in my arms,
The ache is there so deep inside me

Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning
Chasing the rainbow in her dreams so far away
And when she turns to touch it, I kiss her face so softly
And then my Mary wakes to love another day

And Mary's there in summer days or stormy weather
She doesn't care how right or wrong the love we share,
We share together

Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the evening
Kissed by the shades of night and starlight in her hair
And as we walk, I hold her close beside me
All our tomorrows for a lifetime we will share

If I'm a fool (for loving you) - Elvis Presley (1969) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

If I'm a fool for loving you
Then that's just what I want to be

They're saying I am just your clown
And any fool could see
That you're just having fun
And you're not in love with me
The things they're saying may be true,
But there's something they can't see

If I'm a fool for loving you
Then that's just what I want to be

If I'm a dreamer, let me dream.
If I'm your clown, I'll steal the show
If things are not the way they seem,
Please don't ever let me know
If I am blind, it's because
I just don't want to see

If I'm a fool for loving you
Then that's just what I want to be

If I'm a dreamer, let me dream.
If I'm your clown, I'll steal the show
If things are not the way they seem,
Please don't ever let me know
If I am blind, it's because
I just don't want to see

If I'm a fool for loving you
Then that's just what I want to be

If I'm a fool for loving you
Then that's just what I want to be...

I met her today - Elvis Presley (1961) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

I told you that some day
If you kept on being untrue
Somebody else would come along
And release me from you

You'll be glad to know now
Your fickle heart
Can have its own way
For it finally happened
I met her today

I used to think I just couldn't live
A day without you
In spite of the thousand doubts and tears
That you put me through

All at once I don't care as much for you
I'm sorry to say
For now there's another
I met her today

How I treasured each smile, each kiss
You gave to me now and then
Well, you needn't be kind to me now
Oh no, not ever again

Just when the last bit of pride in me was gone
Someone heard me pray
And sent me an angel
I met her today
I met her today

Anything that's part of you - Elvis Presley (1961) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

I memorize the note you sent
Go all the places that we went
I seem to search the whole day through
For anything that's part of you

I kept a ribbon from your hair
A breath of perfume lingers there
It helps to cheer me when I'm blue
Anything that's part of you

Oh, how it hurts to miss you so
When I know you don't love me anymore
To go on needing you
Knowing you don't need me

No reason left for me to live
What can I take, what can I give
When I'd give all of someone new
For anything that's part of you

Bringin' it back - Elvis Presley (1975) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

If I can never see you, if I can never hold you
If I can never touch your face or feel your warm embrace
I still remember talkin', I still remember laughin'
I still remember lovin' a lot, yes touchin' you
Baby, I've not forgotten

But everything's bringing it back, you know it's just bringin' it back
A familiar place for a familiar face just brings it all back
And everything's bringin' it back, good songs bringin' it back
Even after so much time, you know everything's bringin' it back

Thinkin' in my solitude, wonderin' about your attitude
Thinkin' maybe that your love has died
But there it is, I can see it in your eyes
A look of sweet surrender, but a touch of too much sadness
'Cause I've hurt you so, you know your sorrow shows
And you just can't stay, ohhh, but you can't let go

'Cause everything's bringin' it back, you know it's just bringin' it back
A familiar place for familiar face just brings it all back
And everything's bringin' it back, good songs bringin' it back
And even after so much time, you know everything's bringin' it back

And everything's bringin' it back, good songs bringin' it back
And even after so much time, you know everything's bringin' it back
Bringin' it back
Bringin' it back.

Bridge over troubled water - Elvis Presley (1970 live) (with lyrics)

Live, 1970



Live in Greensboro, April 14th, 1972



(Lyrics)

When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, 

I will dry them all
I'm on your side, 

Oh, when times get rough

And friends just can't be found

Ohhh, like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down,
Ohhh, like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out, 

when you're on the street
When evening falls so hard, 

I will comfort you
I'll take your part 

Ohhh! when darkness falls 

And pain is all around

Yeah, like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Yeah, like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on, silver girl, sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Ohhh, if you need a friend,
I'm sailing right behind

Yeah, like a bridge over troubled water
I, I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

Beyond the reef - Elvis Presley (1966) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Beyond the reef where the sea is dark and cold
My love has gone from me and my dreams grow cold
There'll be no tears, there'll be no regretting
Will she remember me, will she forget?

I'll send a thousand flowers
Where the trade winds blow
I'll send my lonely heart for I love her so
Some day I know, she'll come back again to me
Till then, my heart will be beyond the reef

I'll send a thousand flowers
Where the trade winds blow
I'll send my lonely heart for I love her so
Some day I know, she'll come back again to me
Till then, my heart will be beyond the reef

Till then, my heart will be beyond the reef.

And the grass won't pay no mind - Elvis Presley (1969) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Listen easy, you can hear God calling
Walking barefoot by the stream
Come on to me, your hair's softly falling
On my face as in a dream
And the time will be our time
And the grass won't pay no mind

Saying nothing, lying where the sun is
Baking down upon our sides
My lips touch you, with their soft wet kisses
Your hands gentle in reply
And the time will be our time
And the grass won't pay no mind

Child, touch my soul with your cries
And the music will know what we've found
I hear a hundred good-byes
But today I hear only one sound
The moment we're living is now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now

Young birds flying, and a soft wind blowing
Cools the sweat inside my palms
Close my eyes, hear the flowers growing
As you lay sleeping in my arms
And the time will be our time
And the grass won't pay no mind
No, the grass won't pay no mind

Sweet Caroline - Elvis Presley (1970 live) (with lyrics)

Live, Las Vegas Hilton, 1970



 Las Vegas, 1971






(Lyrics)

Where it began, I can't begin to know
But then I know it's growing strong
Oh,oh, oh, wasn't the spring,
And spring became the summer
Who'd believe that you'd come along

Hands, touching hands, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh,oh, oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
Oh, oh, oh I've been inclined
To believe they never would
And now I,

I look at the night,
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two, oh, oh
And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulder
How can I hurt when holding you

Ohhh, warm, touching warm, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, oh, oh sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
Oh, oh, oh, I've been inclined to believe they never would

Oh, oh, oh, sweet Caroline, good times never seem so good
Oh, oh, oh, I've been inclined to believe they never would, ohhhh

Blue Spanish eyes,

Only the strong survive - Elvis Presley (1969) (with lyrics)

Recording studio






(Lyrics)

I remember my first love affair
Somehow or another the whole darn thing went wrong
My mamma had some great advice
So I thought I'd put it into words of this song
I can still hear her sayin' it 

Boy, Oh, I see you're sittin' out there all alone
Cryin' your eyes out, 'cos the woman that you love has gone
Oh, there's gonna be, there's gonna be a whole lot of trouble in your life
Oh, so listen to me get up off your knees, 'cos only the strong survive
That's what she said: 

Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive,

Oh, you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on
Don't go all around with your head hung down
Well, I wouldn't let that little girl
No, I wouldn't let her know that she made me feel like a clown

There's a whole lot of girls lookin' for a good man like you
Oh, but you'll never meet 'em, if you give up now and say that your life is through
Yes she said: 

Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
Oh, you've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand

(boy...boy...oh, boy)

Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
Oh, you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on
'Cos only the strong survive

Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
Well, you've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand
Only the strong survive, only the strong survive

Only the strong survive, only the strong survive 

Any day now - Elvis Presley (1969) (with lyrics)

Take 2,  in studio






(Lyrics)

Any day now 

I will hear you say

Goodbye my love
You'll be on your way
Then my wild beautiful bird
You will have flown
Any day now 

I'll be all alone
Oh, oh, oh

Any day now, 

When your restless eyes
Meet someone new
To my sad surprise
Then the blue shadow will fall all over town
Any day now
Love will let me down
Oh, oh, oh

I know I shouldn't want to keep you
If you don't want to stay, yeah
Until you've gone forever
I'll be holding on for dear life
Holding you this way
Begging you to stay

Any day now
When the clock strikes go
You'll call it off
Then my tears will flow
Then the blue shadow will fall all over town
Any day now
Love will let me down
Oh, oh, oh

Oh, any day now
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, any day now
Don't fly away my beautiful bird
Don't fly away my beautiful bird

Any day now
...

Blue eyes crying in the rain - Elvis Presley (1976) (with lyrics)

Recorded on February, 07th 1976, first released on "From Elvis Presley Boulevard"


(Lyrics)

In the twilight glow I see her
Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again

Love is like a dying ember
Only memories remain
Through the ages I remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain

(Instumental)

Someday when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In a land that knows no parting

Blue eyes crying in the rain
Blue eyes crying in the rain
Blue eyes crying in the rain
Blue eyes crying in the rain...
