[Verse 1]
Love me tender, love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life complete
And I love you so

[Chorus]
Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For my darling I love you
And I always will

[Verse 2]
Love me tender, love me long
Take me to your heart
For it's there that I belong
And we'll never part

[Chorus]
Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For my darling I love you
And I always will

[Verse 3]
Love me tender, love me dear
Tell me you are mine
I'll be yours through all the years
Till the end of time

[Chorus]
Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For my darling I love you
And I always will

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.
