[Verse 1]
And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived 'til now
I tell them I don't know

[Verse 2]
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand

[Verse 3]
And yes, I know how lonely life can be
Shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me

[Verse 4]
And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirits free
I'm happy that you do

[Verse 5]
The book of life is brief
Once the page is read
All but love is dead
This is my belief

[Verse 3]
And yes, I know how lonely life can be
Shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me

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.
