[Verse]
I have wished for the wealth of a great millionaire
I have reached for a bright star above
But the thrill of it all, to me, seems so small
When compared to the thrill of your love

[Chorus]
I'd rather give everything that I own in this world
Than to be all alone and unloved
For no earthly price and no sacrifice
Is too much to give for your love

[Chorus]
I'd rather give everything that I own in this world
Than to be all alone and unloved
For no earthly price and no sacrifice
Is too much to give for your love

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.
