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

(Lyrics)

I remember my first love affair
Somehow or another the whole darn thing went wrong
My mamma had some great advice
So I thought I'd put it into words of this song
I can still hear her sayin' it 

Boy, Oh, I see you're sittin' out there all alone
Cryin' your eyes out, 'cos the woman that you love has gone
Oh, there's gonna be, there's gonna be a whole lot of trouble in your life
Oh, so listen to me get up off your knees, 'cos only the strong survive
That's what she said: 

Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive,

Oh, you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on
Don't go all around with your head hung down
Well, I wouldn't let that little girl
No, I wouldn't let her know that she made me feel like a clown

There's a whole lot of girls lookin' for a good man like you
Oh, but you'll never meet 'em, if you give up now and say that your life is through
Yes she said: 

Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
Oh, you've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand

(boy...boy...oh, boy)

Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
Oh, you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on
'Cos only the strong survive

Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
Well, you've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand
Only the strong survive, only the strong survive

Only the strong survive, only the strong survive 

Any day now - Elvis Presley (1969) (with lyrics)

Take 2,  in studio






(Lyrics)

Any day now 

I will hear you say

Goodbye my love
You'll be on your way
Then my wild beautiful bird
You will have flown
Any day now 

I'll be all alone
Oh, oh, oh

Any day now, 

When your restless eyes
Meet someone new
To my sad surprise
Then the blue shadow will fall all over town
Any day now
Love will let me down
Oh, oh, oh

I know I shouldn't want to keep you
If you don't want to stay, yeah
Until you've gone forever
I'll be holding on for dear life
Holding you this way
Begging you to stay

Any day now
When the clock strikes go
You'll call it off
Then my tears will flow
Then the blue shadow will fall all over town
Any day now
Love will let me down
Oh, oh, oh

Oh, any day now
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, any day now
Don't fly away my beautiful bird
Don't fly away my beautiful bird

Any day now
...
