[Pre-Chorus]
Happy ending, happy ending
Give me a story with a happy ending
When boy meets girl and then they never part again
But live forever happily like you and me

[Verse 1]
Hard luck stories get me so upset
Like Romeo and Juliet
I'm not smart enough to figure why
Some folks enjoy a real good cry

[Chorus]
Happy ending, happy ending
Give me a story with a happy ending
When boy meets girl and then they never part again
But live forever happily like you and me
(You and me, you and me, you and me, you and me)

[Verse 2]
Never thought that I would stand a chance
That you'd give me a second glance
But I think that you can play the part
And give a guy a happy heart

[Chorus]

[Outro]
When boy meets girl and then they never part again
But live forever happily like you and me
(You and me)
Like you and me, like you and me
(You and me, you and me, like you and me)

Elvis Presley

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.
