[Chorus]
It's now or never
Come hold me tight
Kiss me, my darling
Be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late
It's now or never
My love won't wait

[Verse 1]
When I first saw you
With your smile so tender
My heart was captured
My soul surrendered
I'd spend a lifetime
Waiting for the right time
Now that you're near
The time is here at last

[Chorus]
It's now or never
Come hold me tight
Kiss me, my darling
Be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late
It's now or never
My love won't wait

[Verse 2]
Just like a willow
We would cry an ocean
If we lost true love
And sweet devotion
Your lips excite me
Let your arms invite me
For who knows when
We'll meet again this way

[Chorus]
It's now or never
Come hold me tight
Kiss me, my darling
Be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late
It's now or never
My love won't wait

[Outro]
It's now or never
My love won't wait
It's now or never
My love won't wait
It's now or never
My love won't wait

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.
