[Verse 1]
Starting today
I'm teaching my heart
Not to ache anymore
Just 'cause we're apart

[Verse 2]
No more will I dream
Of your sweet loving ways
Going to learn to forget you
Starting today

[Verse 3]
And when memories haunt me
And the tears start to flow
I'll just think of the sorrow
You caused me to know

[Verse 4]
No more for the past
To return will I pray
Going to live for tomorrow
Starting today
Starting today

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.
