[Verse 1]
Fame and fortune
How empty they can be
But when I hold you in my arms
That's heaven to me

Who cares for fame and fortune
They're only passing things
But the touch of your lips on mine
Makes me feel like a king

[Verse 2]
Your kind of love
Is a treasure I hold
It's so much greater
Than silver or gold

I know that I have nothing
If you should go away
But to know that you love me
Brings fame and fortune my way

But to know that you love me
Brings fame and fortune my way

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.
