[Verse 1]
I've had nothing but sorrow
Since you said we were through
There's no hope for tomorrow
How's the world treating you?

[Verse 2]
Every sweet thing that mattered
Has been broken in two
All my dreams have been shattered
How's the world treating you?

[Verse 3]
Got no plans for next Sunday
Got no plans for today
Every day is blue Monday
Every day you're away

[Verse 4]
Every sweet thing that mattered
Has been broken in two
And I'm asking you, darling
How's the world treating you?

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.
