My wish came true (My wish came true)
When I met you (When I met you)
I've searched and searched
My whole life through (My whole life through)

There's just one thing (There's just one thing)
Dear, before we start (before we start)
Don't say you care
Then break my heart (Then break my heart)

When you speak of love
Please be sincere
For if you play with love
It can bring tears, my dear

My wish came true (My wish came true)
To my surprise (To my surprise)
When you stood there
Before my eyes (Before my eyes)

And when my heart (And when my heart)
Started beating fast (Started beating fast)
It was then I knew
I found true love at last

Elvis Presley

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American performer that spanned all media—music, film, and historic live concerts—with a vehement passion that earned him the moniker, “The King of Rock and Roll.”

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi to Gladys and Vernon Presley. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis began to explore the blues scene prevalent in Memphis and the culture it encompassed.

In August 1953, he walked into Sun Records to record a song for his mother’s birthday. Manager of Sun Records Sam Phillips took note of his unique voice and persona, and invited Elvis back to the studio in July 1954, where he ultimately recorded his first true single, “That’s All Right,” with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” as the B-side.
