[Verse 1]
I just can't help believing
When she smiles up soft and gentle
With a trace of misty morning
And a promise of tomorrow in her eyes

[Verse 2]
I just can't help believing
When she's lying close beside me
And my heart beats with the rhythm of her sighs
This time the girl is going to stay
This time the girl is going to stay
For more than just a day

[Verse 3]
Oh, I just can't help believing
When she slips her hand in my hand
And it feels so small and helpless
And my fingers fold around it like a glove

[Verse 4]
I just can't help believing
When she's whispering her magic
And her tears are shining honey sweet with love
This time the girl is going to stay
This time the girl is going to stay
For more than just a day

For more than just a day

[Verse 3]
Oh, I just can't help believing
When she slips her hand in my hand
And it feels so small and helpless
And my fingers fold around it like a glove

[Verse 4]
I just can't help believing
When she smiles and whisper her magic
And her tears are shining honey sweet with love
This time the girl is going to stay
This time the girl is going to stay
For more than just a day

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.
