[Verse 1]
Just pretend, I'm holding you
And whispering things soft and low
And think of me, how it's going to be
Just pretend I didn't go

[Verse 2]
When I walked away, I heard you say
If you need me, you know what to do
If I knew it then, I'd be back again
So just pretend I'm right there with you

[Chorus]
And I'll come flying to you, again
All my crying is true
Oh, I will hold you and love you again
But until then, we'll just pretend

[Verse 3]
Oh, it's funny but I can't recall
The things we said or why you're crying
But now I know it was wrong to go
I belong there by your side

[Chorus]
And, I'll come flying to you, again
All my crying is true
Oh, I will hold you and love you again
But until then, we'll just pretend

I will hold you and love you again
But until then, we'll just pretend

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.
