[Bridge]
Ooh, love, a thing called love

[Verse 1]
Six foot six he stood on the ground, he weighed 235 pounds
But I saw that giant of a man brought down to his knees by love
He was the kind of a man who would gamble on luck
Look you in the eye and never back up
But I saw him crying like a little whipped pup because of love

[Chorus]
You can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hands
But like the wind it covers our land
Strong enough to rule the heart of many man, this thing called love
It can lift you up, never let you down
Take your world and turn it all around
Ever since time nothing's ever been found that's stronger than love

[Bridge]

[Verse 2]
Most men are like me they struggle and doubt
Trouble their minds day in and day out
Too busy with living to worry about a little word like love
But when I see a mother's tenderness
As she holds her young close to her breast
Then I thank God that the world's been blessed
With a thing called love

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

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.
