[Verse 1]
One night with you
Is what I'm now praying for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true

[Verse 2]
Just call my name
And I'll be right by your side
I want your sweet helping hand
My love's too strong to hide

[Chorus]
Always lived, very quiet life
I have never did no wrong
Now I know that life without you
Has been too lonely too long

[Verse 1]
One night with you
Is what I'm now praying for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true

[Chorus]
Always lived, very quiet life
I have never did no wrong
Now I know that life without you
Has been too lonely too long

[Verse 1]
One night with you
Is what I'm now praying for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true

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.
