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

(Lyrics)

Blue Spanish eyes, 
Teardrops are falling from your Spanish eyes
Please, please don't cry, 
This is just adios and not good-bye
Soon, I'll return, bringing you all the love your heart can hold
Please, say "Si Si" 
Say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me

Soon, I'll return, 
Bringing you all the love your heart can hold
Please, say "Si Si",
Say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me
Say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me
