Solitaire - Elvis Presley (1976) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

There was a man, a lonely man
Who lost his love, through his indifference
A heart that cared that went unshared
Until it died within his silence

And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire

And keeping to himself, begins to deal
And still the king of hearts is well concealed
Another losing game comes to an end
And deals them out again

A little hope goes up in smoke
Just how it goes, goes without saying

There was a man, a lonely man
Who would command the hand he's playing

And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire

And keeping to himself, begins to deal
And still the king of hearts is well concealed
Another losing game comes to an end
And deals them out again

And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere

He's playing solitaire

Take good care of her - Elvis Presley (1973) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Take good care of her, take good care of her

I suppose I ought to say congratulations
For you won the only girl I ever loved
But I hurt too much to face the situation

Just take good care of her, take good care of her

Just to be around her was my greatest pleasure
She was everything my future held in store
So remember when you take my only treasure

Just take good care of her, take good care of her

I must accept it, she loves you more than me
So with my broken heart I'll bow out gracefully
Please don't send me any wedding invitation
For I couldn't bear to see her there with you
If she's happy, that will be my consolation

Just take good care of her, take good care of her

Take good care of her, take good care of her

I'll never fall in love again - Elvis Presley (1976) (with lyrics)

Recorded on February 4-5, 1976 at Graceland

(Lyrics)

I've been in love so many times
I thought I knew the score
Now you've treated me so wrong
I can't take any more

And it looks like
I'll never gonna fall in love again
Fall in love,
I'll never gonna fall in love
I mean it, I mean it, fall in love again

I gave my heart so easily,
I cast aside my pride
But when I saw you in his arms, baby
I broke up and cried

And it looks like
I'll never gonna fall in love again
That's what I'm sayin'
Fall in love,
No, I'll never gonna fall in love
Please, don't make me fall in love again

That's why I,
(Fall in love)
No, I'll never gonna fall in love
Please don't make me,
Don't make me,
Fall in love
Ahahah again.

It's midnight - Elvis Presley (1973) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics) (live version)

Maybe it's too late.

But I sometimes even hate myself for loving you
Trying to be strong
Then nighttime comes along and I start wanting you,
Wanting you. (Listen Cilla)
Where is all my selfcontrol

I'm burning way down in my soul and needing you,
Wishing I could be the man, I try to
Hating me for wanting to be with you
Knowing you don't love me like you used to
But it's midnight,

Ohh, Lord, and I miss you

It's getting late and I know that's when I am weak
Funny how things have a way of looking so much brighter in the day light

I ought to go to bed to try straighten out my head and just forget you

Oh, but it's midnight

And I miss you

It's getting late and I know that's when I am weak
Funny how things have a way of looking so much brighter in the day light

I ought to go to bed to try straighten out my head and just forget you
Oh, but it's midnight

And I miss you

It's midnight

And I miss you

I miss you, Lord, Lord, I miss you.

Whohoho...

Your love's been a long time coming - Elvis Presley (1973) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

The first time I saw you

I knew I was hooked on somebody other than me
The first time I held you, your soft lips and blue eyes
Were as far as my eyes could see

Yes, here in my arms

I knew I had found the reason that I'm living for
I felt the feeling, such a wonderful feeling
That I'd never felt before

Baby, you're love's been a long time coming
Baby, your love's got a hold on me
Baby, your love's sure got me humming
Baby, your love's been a long time coming

Deep in my heart there's a feeling I never knew
Until I saw a love that was very new
I'm gonna tell everyone what good love can do, wooo

Baby, you're love's been a long time coming
Baby, your love's got a hold on me
Baby, your love's sure got me humming
Baby, your love's been a long time coming

Baby, you're love's been a long time coming
Baby your love's got a hold on me

Baby, your love's sure got me humming
Baby, your love's been a long time coming

Baby, you're love's been a long time coming
Baby, your love's got a hold on me
Baby, your love's sure got me humming
Baby, your love's been a long time coming

You've lost that lovin' feelin' - Elvis Presley (1970 live) (with lyrics)

1971

(Lyrics)

You never close your eyes
Anymore when I kiss your lips
There's no tenderness
Like before in your fingertips
You're trying hard
Not to show it, (baby)
But baby, baby I know it

You've lost that lovin' feelin',Whoho that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin',
Now it's gone, gone, gone
Oh...oh...oh...

There's no tenderness in your eyes
When I reach out for you
Girl, you're starting to criticize
Every little thing that I do
It makes me just feel like crying
'Cause baby, something beautiful's dying

You've lost that lovin' feelin',
Whoho that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin',
Now it's gone, gone, gone
Oh...oh...oh...

Baby, baby, I get down on my knees for you
( if this suit wasn't too tight )

If you would only love me like you used to do
We had a love, a love, a love,
You don't find every day
So don't, don't, don't,
Don't take it away
Listen to me, talkin' to you

Bring back that lovin' feelin,
Oh, oh that lovin' feelin'
Bring back that lovin' feelin,
Now it's gone, gone, gone
And I can't go on
Whoho...oh...oh...

(Bring back that lovin' feelin,)

Whoho...oh...oh...

(Bring back that lovin' feelin,)

Whoho... oh... oh...

I've lost you - Elvis Presley (1970) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Lying by your side I watch you sleeping
And in your face the sweetness of a child
Murmuring the dreams you won't recapture
Though it will haunt the corners of your mind

Oh, I've lost though you're near me
And your body's still this kind
I've lost you on a journey,
But I can't remember where or when

Who can tell when summer turns to autumn
And who can point the moment love grows cold
Softly without pain the joy is over
Though why it's gone we neither of us know

Oh, I've lost you yes, I've lost you
I can't reach you anymore
We ought to talk it over now
But reason can't stand in for feeling, oh

Oh, I've lost you, yes, I've lost you
I can't reach you anymore
We ought to talk it over now
But reason can't stand in for feeling

Six o'clock the baby will be crying
And you will stumble, sleeping to the door
In the chill and solemn gray of morning
We play the parts that we have learned too well

Oh I've lost you, oh, I've lost you
Oh, You won't admit it so
I've lost you on a journey,
But I can't remember where or when no more

Oh, I've lost you, yes, I've lost you
I can't reach you anymore
We ought to talk it over now
But reason can't stand in for feeling, oh

Oh, I've lost you, yes, I've lost you
I can't reach you anymore
We ought to talk it over now
But reason can't stand in for feeling, oh

I've lost you - Elvis Presley (1970 live) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Lying by your side I watch you sleeping
And in your face the sweetness of a child
Murmuring the dreams you won't recapture
Though it will haunt the corners of you mind

Oh, I've lost you, yes, I've lost you
I can't reach you anymore
We ought to talk it over now
But reason can't stand in for feeling, oh

Who can tell when summer turns to autumn
And who can point the moment love grows cold
Softly without pain the joy is over
Though why it's gone will neither of us know

Oh, I've lost you, yes, I've lost you
I can't reach you anymore
We ought to talk it over now
But reason can't stand in for feeling, oh

I've lost you, yes, I've lost you
I can't reach you anymore
We ought to talk it over now
But reason can't stand in for feeling

Six o'clock the baby will be crying
And you will stumble, sleeping to the door
In the chill and solemn gray of morning
We play the parts that we have learned to well

Oh, I've lost you, yes, I've lost you

Oh, I've lost you yes, I've lost you
I can't reach you anymore
We ought to talk it over now
But reason can't stand in for feeling, oh

Oh, I've lost you yes, I've lost you

I can't reach you anymore
We ought to talk it over now
But reason can't stand in for feeling, oh

Inherit the wind - Elvis Presley (1969) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Baby, don't fall in love with me
I'll only bring you grief
Baby, don't set your heart on me
I'll only have to leave

'Cause the north wind flows through my veins
Like my dad there's a dream in my brain
In the morning I'll have to leave again
That's how it is when you

Inherit the wind
Inherit the wind

Daddy, he was a wandering man
I hardly knew his face
Momma, she cried for him at night
He never stayed in one place

'Cause the north wind flows through my veins
Like my dad there's a dream in my brain
In the morning I'll have to leave again
That's how it is when you

Inherit the wind
Inherit the wind

Oh, I can't give you the love you need
I just won't be here that long
But if you still want me here tonight
I'll love you till the break of dawn

'Cause the north wind flows through my veins
Like my dad there's a dream in my brain
In the morning I'll have to leave again
That's how it is when you inherit the wind
Inherit the wind
Inherit the wind

Inherit the wind

I just can't help believin' - Elvis Presley (1970 live) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

I just can't help believin'
When she smiles up soft and gentle
With a trace of misty morning
And the promise of tomorrow in her eyes

I just can't help believin'
When she's lying close beside me
And my heart beats with the rhythm of her sighs
This time the girl is gonna stay
This time the girl is gonna stay
For more than just a day

Oh, I just can't help believin'
When she slips her hand in my hand
And it feels so small and helpless
As my fingers fold around it like a glove

I just can't help believin'
When she's whispering her magic
And her tears are shining honey sweet with love
This time the girl is gonna stay
(This time the girl is gonna stay)

This time the girl is gonna stay
For more than just a day

(Instrumental)

For more than just a day
