[Verse 1]
Hold me close, hold me tight
Make me thrill with delight
Let me know where I stand from the start

[Chorus]
I want you, I need you, I love you
With all my heart

[Verse 2]
Every time that you're near
All my cares disappear
Darling, you're all that I'm living for

[Chorus]
I want you, I need you, I love you
More and more

[Bridge]
I thought I could live without romance
Until you came to me
But now I know that I will go on
Loving you eternally

[Verse 4]
Won't you please be my own?
Never leave me alone
'Cause I die every time we're apart

[Chorus]
I want you, I need you, I love you
With all my heart

[Bridge]
Well, I thought I could live without romance
Until you came to me
But now I know that I will go
On loving you eternally

[Verse 4]
Won't you please be my own?
Never leave me alone
'Cause I die every time we're apart

[Chorus]
I want you, I need you, I love you
With all my heart

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.
