The Next Step Is LoveElvis Presley

Songwriter: Paul Parnes Paul Evans

Producer: Felton Jarvis

[Intro]
Yesterday has slipped away
And the sun is welcoming the evening shadows
Of a perfect day and the next step is love
The next step is love

[Verse]
We've walked barefoot through the misty meadows
Laughing at each other in the rain
Made some faces at some people in the park
And didn't bother to explain
Fun, fun, look at us run
Going nowhere special really fast
But we've yet to taste the icing on the cake
That we've been baking with the past

[Chorus]
And the next step is love
So what are we waiting for?
The next step is love
Girl, it's for sure

Yesterday has slipped away
And the sun is welcoming the evening shadows
On a perfect day and the next step is love
The next step is love

[Verse]
Love will be a place to run to
From the world they've willed you and me
We'll be closer than we've ever been
Though looking back it's so hard to believe
Hang it all out, we bring it on in
The best we've picked up on the way to now
Changes are coming but together
We can make it through somehow

[Chorus]
Cause the next step is love
So what are we waiting for?
The next step is love
Girl, it's for sure

Yesterday, has slipped away
And the sun is welcoming the evening shadows
Of a perfect day and the next step is love
The next step is love

[Outro]
Yes it's love
The next step is love
Yes it's love
Next step is love
Yes girl it's love

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.
