[Verse 1]
Soldier boy, why feel blue?
Don't you believe that she will be true?

[Refrain]
It's written in the book
That she was meant for only you

[Verse 2]
Soldier boy, tell me why do you cry?
When you return, she'll rush to your side

[Refrain]
It's written in the book
That she was meant for only you

[Chorus]
So prove your love is true
She'll be there to say, "I do"
And if you go sea or land
She'll make you understand
While you're gone, oh, try to believe
Her love for you is really for real

[Refrain]
It's written in the book
That she was meant for only you

[Chorus]
So prove your love is true
She'll be there to say, "I do"
And if you go sea or land
She'll make you understand
While you're gone, oh, try to believe
Her love for you is really for real

[Refrain]
It's written in the book
That she was meant for only you

[Outro]
Soldier Boy

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.
