[Chorus]
Well, it's so very hard to have
To leave the one you love
And you get more lonely
With each passing day
It's so lonely just sitting there
And dreaming of
That girl a thousand miles away

[Verse 1]
Yes, it's still lonely having
Just her picture here with me
And I know I just can't stand it anymore
I'm going to leave right now
And go back where I ought to be
Going home to the girl that I adore

[Chorus]
Well, it's so very hard to have
To leave the one you love
And you get more lonely
With each passing day
It's so lonely just sitting there
And thinking of
That girl a thousand miles away

[Verse 2]
Well, every time I hear
Her sweet voice on the telephone
Then I know I just can't stand it another day
I'm going to call right back
And tell her that I'm coming home
Call her back and say I'm coming home to stay
Call her back and say I'm coming home to stay

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.
