[Verse 1]
I will be true
No matter what they may say
I will be true
Although you're far, far away

[Verse 2]
Each night I pray
All day I'll say silent prayers
That when I open my door
I'll find you there

[Chorus]
Somehow I feel
That someday we'll meet again
Don't ask me how
It's something I can't explain

Until the day
I give up all hope of you
Assure yourself this, I'll do
I will be true

[Chorus]

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.
