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.
