[Verse 1]
It's impossible, tell the sun to leave the sky
It's just impossible
It's impossible to ask a baby not to cry
It's just impossible

Can I hold you closer to me?
And not feel you going through me
But the second that I never think of you?
Oh, how impossible

[Chorus]
Can the ocean keep from rushing to the shore?
It's just impossible
If I had you, could I ever ask for more?
It's just impossible

And tomorrow should you ask me for the world?
Somehow I'd get it, I would sell my very soul
And not regret it for to live without your love
Is just impossible

[Chorus]
Can the ocean keep from rushing to the shore?
It's just impossible
If I had you, could I ever ask for more?
It's just impossible

And tomorrow should you ask me for the world?
Somehow I'd get it, I would sell my very soul
And not regret it for to live without your love
Is just impossible

Oh, impossible
(Impossible)
Impossible

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.
