(Lyrics)

Oh Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed

(When Christ shall come
With shout of aclamation
To take me home, what joy shall fill my heart)

Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim:
Oh, my God, how great thou art


Then sings my soul, my savior God to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art

Then sings my soul my savior God to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art

I was born about ten thousand years ago - Elvis Presley (1970) (with lyrics)

In Studio, 1970, Nashville.




(Lyrics)

I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
I saved king David's life and he offered me a wife
I said now you're talking business have a chair

Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
Saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

I was there when old Noah built the ark
And I crawled in the window after dark
I saw Jonah eat the whale and dance with the lion's tale
And I crossed over Canaan on a log

Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago
Yeah, There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
Saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

I was there when old Noah built the ark
And I crawled in the window after dark
I saw Jonah eat the whale and dance with the lion's tale
And I crossed over Canaan on a log

Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know

Yeah, I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
I saved king David's life and he offered me a wife
I said now you're talking business have a chair

Uhnnn, I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
Saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

ma ma ma ma ma ma... tan tan tan ...

I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water...

It ain't no big thing, (but it's growing) - Elvis Presley (1970) (with lyrics)






(Lyrics)

You're losing interest in me and it's showing
It ain't no big thing, but it's growing
The pain of heartbreak I've just started knowing
Well, it ain't no big thing, but it's growing

Every day the hurt grows bigger than before
But I'll pretend I don't know this
If I can hold you one day more
You've got the look of someone who's going
You're gonna leave me and it's showing
A little tear I can feel start to flow
It ain't no big thing, but it's growing

(Instrumental)

Well, every day the hurt grows bigger than before
But I'll pretend I don't know this
Well, if I can hold you one day more
You've got the look of someone who's going
Well, you're gonna leave me and it's showing
A little tear I can feel start to flow
Well, it ain't no big, thing but it's growing
No, it ain't no big thing, but it's growing

Mary in the morning - Elvis Presley (1970) (with lyrics)






(Lyrics)

Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning
When through the sleepy haze I see her lying there
Soft as the rain that falls on summer flowers
Warm as the sunlight shining on her golden hair

When I awake and see her there so close beside me
I want to take her in my arms,
The ache is there so deep inside me

Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning
Chasing the rainbow in her dreams so far away
And when she turns to touch it, I kiss her face so softly
And then my Mary wakes to love another day

And Mary's there in summer days or stormy weather
She doesn't care how right or wrong the love we share,
We share together

Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the evening
Kissed by the shades of night and starlight in her hair
And as we walk, I hold her close beside me
All our tomorrows for a lifetime we will share

If I'm a fool (for loving you) - Elvis Presley (1969) (with lyrics)







(Lyrics)

If I'm a fool for loving you
Then that's just what I want to be

They're saying I am just your clown
And any fool could see
That you're just having fun
And you're not in love with me
The things they're saying may be true,
But there's something they can't see

If I'm a fool for loving you
Then that's just what I want to be

If I'm a dreamer, let me dream.
If I'm your clown, I'll steal the show
If things are not the way they seem,
Please don't ever let me know
If I am blind, it's because
I just don't want to see

If I'm a fool for loving you
Then that's just what I want to be

If I'm a dreamer, let me dream.
If I'm your clown, I'll steal the show
If things are not the way they seem,
Please don't ever let me know
If I am blind, it's because
I just don't want to see

If I'm a fool for loving you
Then that's just what I want to be

If I'm a fool for loving you
Then that's just what I want to be...
