[Verse]
All the words that I let her know
Still could not say
How much I need you so
In every way
I will hope you will guide me
And only you can do
Hold my hands down beside me
I'm counting on you

[Chorus]
I'm counting on you, dear
From the dawn of each day
To always come through, dear
In your kind loving way
If you knew just how deeply
I feel things you do
Then you'll know how completely
I'm counting on you

[Chorus]
I'm counting on you, dear
From the dawn of each day
To always come through, dear
In your kind loving way
If you knew just how deeply
I feel things you do
Then you'll know how completely
I'm counting on 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.
