AlmostElvis Presley

Songwriter: Buddy Kaye Ben Weisman

[Intro]
We almost shared a dream
We almost made it as a team
How nice it would have been

[Verse 1]
We almost touched the stars
And there stood heaven, almost ours
But we were just outsiders looking in
We had the chance to fall
But fate stepped in to end it all
Before it could begin

[Verse 2]
And if it's true, you're really going
There's nothing but goodbye to say
The saddest part of all is knowing
We almost went all the way

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.
