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
