[Verse 1]
Don't leave me now (don't leave me now)
Now that I need you (ooh)
How blue and lonely I'd be
If you should say we're through (don't say we're through)

[Verse 2]
Don't break my heart (don't break my heart)
This heart that loves you (ooh)
There'd just be nothing for me
If you should leave me now (don't leave me now)

[Verse 3]
What good is dreaming
If I must dream all alone by myself
Without you, darling? (darling)
My arms would gather dust
Like a book on a shelf

[Verse 4]
Come to these arms (come to these arms)
These arms that need you (ooh)
Don't close your eyes to my plea
Don't leave me now (don't leave me now)
Don't close your eyes to my plea
Don't you leave me now (don't leave me now)

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.
