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
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

Oh, I just can't help believin'
(Sing this song)

Oh, I just can't help believin'
(one more time)

Oh, I just can't help believin'
(one more)

Oh, I just can't help believin'

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'
She smiles and  whispers her magic (Elvis changes the lyric here, and he smiles)
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

Oh, I just can't help believin'
(take it)
Oh, I just can't help believin'
Oh, I just can't help believin'
Oh, I just can't help believin'

Make the world go away - Elvis Presley (1970 live) (with lyrics)



(Lyrics)

Oh, make the world go away
Get it off, get it off my shoulder
Say the things we used to say
And make the world, make it go away

Do you remember when you loved me
Before the world took you away
Well if you do, then forgive me
And make the world, make it go away

Eh, Make the world go away
Get it off, get it off my shoulder
Say the things we used to say
And make the world, make it go away

Now I'm sorry if I hurt you
Let me make it up to you day by day
And if you will please forgive me
And make the world, make it go away
Oh, make the world go away
Get it off, get it off my shoulder
Say the things we used to say
And make the world, make it go away

Oh, make the world go away
Get it off, get it off my shoulder
Say the things we used to say
And make the world go away.

(Lyrics)

I'd been standing on the corner
Since a quarter after seven
I was down to my last cigarette
And the clock in the window
Had it quarter to eleven

I was watching all the people
Passing by me, going places
Just the loneliest guy in the town
Looking for a friendly smile
But all that I could see were faces

And then, just like the taste of milk and honey
I found the stranger I'd been looking for
The way my cup of love was overflowing
I knew the stranger in the crowd
And I would be stranger no more

Love that found us on the corner
At a quarter to eleven
I thought you were to good to be true
All my life I had believed
That angels only live in heaven
But now, we share the taste of milk and honey
Each day is sweeter than the day before

My cup of love is overflowing
Because the stranger in the crowd
And I would be stranger no more


(Instrumental)

Deep inside, my cup of love was overflowing
I found the stranger I'd been looking for
The way my cup of love was overflowing
I knew the stranger in the crowd
And I would be stranger no more

You gave me a mountain - Elvis Presley (1972, 1973, 1977 live) (with lyrics)

"Elvis On Tour", 1972



"Aloha from Hawaii", 1973



"Elvis in Concert", 1977


(Lyrics)

Born in the heat of the desert
My mother died giving me life
Deprived of the love of a father
Blamed for the loss of his wife
You know lord I've been in a prison
For something that I've never done
It's been one hill after another
But I've climbed them all one by one

Oh, but this time, Lord, you gave me a mountain
A mountain, I may never climb
It isn't, Lord, a hill any longer
You gave me a mountain this time

My woman got tired of the heartaches
Tired of the grief and the strife
So tired of working for nothing
Just tired of being my wife
She took my one ray of sunshine
She took my pride and my joy
She took my reason for living
She took my small baby boy


Oh, and this time, Lord, you gave me a mountain
A mountain, I may never climb
It isn't, Lord, a hill any longer
You gave me a mountain this time 
You gave me a mountain this time
A mountain this time, oh oh oh
