[Verse 1]
My warped and worried mind resorts
To wandering off to ponder things I never talk about
A pretty girl I used to know
But wouldn't know if we met face to face
And defying every logic known
I wish the time machine could take me back again
To the wonder of my first love, the old folks tease me 'bout
Referring to her only as my little friend

[Verse 2]
Somewhere far away and maybe not so far away
A child has grown into a woman of the world
I assume this knowing that she knew so much of life
At such a tender age
I learned from her the whispered things
The big boys at the pool hall talk about
The thrill and disappointment
Fear and shame that first love brings
But oh, how I thought I loved my little friend

[Verse 3]
The fragrance of the green grass
Mingled with the scent of love and warming earth
The moonlight night I kissed and cried
And swore I'd never touch another girl
But time moved fast and I moved on
And I loved others time and time again
But with each time I thought of her
And always gave a little more
Assembled love and remembrance for my little friend

[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh assembled love, remembrance for my little friend
Oh-oh-oh assembled love, remembrance for my little friend
Oh-oh-oh assembled love, remembrance for my little friend

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.
