Golden Celebration-elvis 50th

(words & music by c. singleton - r.m. mccoy)
I've been traveling over mountains
Even through the valleys, too
I've been traveling night and day
I've been running all the way
Baby, trying to get to you.

Ever since i read your letter
Where you said you loved me true
I've been traveling night and day
I've been running all the way
Baby, trying to get to you

When i read your loving letter
Then my heart began to sing
There were many miles between us,
But they didn't mean a thing.

I just had to reach you, baby,
In spite of all that i've been through.
I kept traveling night and day,
I kept running all the way,
Baby, trying to get to you.

Well if i had to do it over
That's exactly what i'd do,
I would travel night and day,
And i'd still run all the way,
Baby, trying to get to you.

Well, there's nothing that could hold me
Or that could keep me away from you
When your loving letter told me
That you really loved me true

Lord above me knows i love you
It was he who brought me through,
When my way was dark as night,
He would shine his brightest light,
When i was trying to get to you.

(words & music by schroeder - demetruis - blair - peppers)
I was the one who taught her to kiss
The way that she kisses you now.
And you know the way she touches your cheek,
Well, i taught her how.

I was the one who taught her to cry
When she wants you under her spell.
The sight of her tears drives you out of your mind,
I taught her so well.

And then one day
I had my love as perfect as could be.
She lived, she loved, she laughed, she cried,
And it was all for me.

I'll never know who taught her to lie.
Now that it's over and done,
Who learned the lesson when she broke my heart?
I was the one.

hold me close, hold me tight
Make me thrill with delight
Let me know where i stand from the start
I want you, i need you, i love you
With all my heart

Ev'ry time that you're near
All my cares disappear
Darling, you're all that i'm living for
I want you, i need you, i love you
More and more

I thought i could live without romance
Until you came to me
But now i know that
I will go on loving you eternally

Won't you please be my own?
Never leave me alone
'cause i die ev'ry time we're apart
I want you, i need you, i love you
With all my heart

Bwell i'm tired and so weary
But i must go on
Til the lord comes and calls me
Away

Where the morning is bright
And the lamb is the light
And the night is as fair
As the day

There will be peace
In the valley
For me (someday)
There will be peace
In the valley
For me (oh lord i pray)
There'll be no sadness
No darkness,
No trouble
I see
There will be peace
In the valley
For me

Well the bear will be gentle
And the wolf will be tame
And the lion shall lay down
By the lamb (oh yeah)
And the beast of the wild
Shall be led by the child
And i'll be changed
Changed from this creature
That i am (oh yeah)

There will be....etc (chorus again)

Got a gal named sue
She knows just what to do
She rocks to the east
She rocks to the west
She's the gal i love best

I got a gal named daisy
She almost drives me crazy
She knows how to love me
Yes indeed, boy you don't know
What she does to me

(words & music by lewis - burns)
I am the king of the jungle
They call me the tiger man
I am the king of the jungle
They call me tiger man
If you cross my path
You take your own life in your hands

Yeah, i get up on a mountain
And i call my black cat back
Yeah, i get up on a mountain
And i call my black cat back
My black cat comes a runnin'
And the hound dogs get way back

Yeah, i get up on a mountain
And i call my black cat back

My black cat comes a runnin'
And the hound dogs get way back

(words & music by lee rosenberg - bernard weinman)
Honey, i love you too much
Need your lovin' too much
Want the thrill of your touch
Gee, i can't hold you too much
You do all the livin'
While i do all the givin'
Cause i love you too much

You spend all my money too much
Have to share you honey, too much
When i want some lovin', you're gone
Don't you know you're treatin' me wrong
Now you got me started
Don't you leave me broken hearted
Cause i love you too much

Ev'ry time i kiss your sweet lips
I can feel my heart go flip flip
I'm such a fool for your charms
Take me back baby in your arms
Like to hear you sighin'
Even though i know you're lyin'
Cause i love you too much

Need your lovin' all the time
Need you huggin', please be mine
Need you near me, stay real close
Please, please, hear me, you're the most
Now you got me started
Don't you leave me broken hearted
Cause i love you too much

(words & music by walker - sullivan)
When my blue moon turns to gold again
When my rainbow turns the clouds away
When my blue moon turns to gold again
You'll be back within my arms to stay

When the memories that linger in our hearts
Memories that make my heart cold
However some day they'll live again sweetheart
And my blue moon again will turn to gold

(words & music by naomi ford)
Gather round me buddy, raise your glasses high
And drink to a fool, a crazy fool
Who told his baby goodbye
Too late he found he loved her so much he wants to die

So drink to a fool, a crazy fool
Who told his baby goodbye
He needs her, he needs her so
He wonders why he let her go

She's found, she's found, she's found
A new love buddy, he's a lucky guy
So drink to a fool, a crazy fool
Who told his baby goodbye

(words & music by m. david)
Well, i don't care if the sun don't shine.
I get my lovin' in the evening time
When i'm with my baby.

Well, it ain't no fun with the sun around.
I get going when the sun goes down
And i'm with my baby.

Well, that's when we're gonna kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss,
And we're gonna kiss some more.
Who cares how many times we kiss,
'cause at a time like this, who keeps score?

Well, i don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my loving in the evening time
When i meet my baby.

And it don't matter if it's sleet or snow,
The drive-in's cozy when the lights are low
And i'm with my baby.

Makes no difference if the rain comes down
I don't notice when she's around.
Oh boy, what a baby.

Well, that's when we're gonna kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss
And
We're gonna kiss some more.
Well, one kiss from my baby doll
Makes me hot-
More more more more.

Well, i don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my loving in the evening time
When i'm with my baby.

Well, that's when we're gonna kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss
And
We're gonna kiss some more.
Well, one kiss from my baby doll
Makes me hot-
More more more more.

Well, i don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my loving in the evening time
When i'm with my baby.

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time.
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time.
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine.

When they said you was high classed,
Well, that was just a lie.
When they said you was high classed,
Well, that was just a lie.
You ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine.

(words & music by j. wakely)
I'll never let you go, little darlin'.
I'm so sorry 'cause i made you cry.
I'll never let you go, 'cause i love you.
So please don't ever say good-bye.

The stars would tumble down beside me,
The moon would hang its head and cry.
My arms would never hold another baby doll
If we should ever say good-bye.

Well, i'll never let you go,
Because i love you, pretty baby.
I'm so sorry 'cause i made you cry.
I made you cry.
Yeah, i'll never let you go,
'cause i love you, little baby.
So please don't ever say good-bye.

(words & music by h. williams - j. kennedy)
I saw the harbor lights
They only told me we were parting
Those same old harbor lights
That once brought you to me.

I watched the harbor lights
How could i help it?
Tears were starting.
Good-bye to golden nights
Beside the silvery seas.

I long to hold you dear,
And kiss you just once more.
But you were on the ship,
And i was on the shore.

Now i know lonely nights
For all the while my heart keeps praying
That someday harbor lights
Will bring you back to me.

(words & music by carl perkins)
Well, it's one for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to get ready,
Now go, cat, go.

But don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

Well, you can knock me down,
Step in my face,
Slander my name
All over the place.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

You can burn my house,
Steal my car,
Drink my liquor
From an old fruitjar.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

(words & music by billy hayes - jay johnson)
I'll have a blue christmas without you
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green christmas tree
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me

And when those blue snowflakes start falling
That's when those blue memories start calling
You'll be doin' all right, with your christmas of white
But i'll have a blue, blue blue blue christmas

(instrumental break)

You'll be doin' all right, with your christmas of white,
But i'll have a blue, blue christmas

Dark moon, way up high up in the sky
Oh, tell me why, oh tell me why
You've lost your splendor
Dark moon, what is the cause your life withdraws

But they don't realize, their love can sometimes bring the

(words & music by otis blackwell - elvis presley)
You know i can be found,
Sitting home all alone,
If you can't come around,
At least please telephone.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.

Baby, if i made you mad
For something i might have said,
Please, let's forget the past,
The future looks bright ahead,
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
I don't want no other love,
Baby it's just you i'm thinking of.

Don't stop thinking of me,
Don't make me feel this way,
Come on over here and love me,
You know what i want you to say.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
Why should we be apart?
I really love you baby, cross my heart.

Let's walk up to the preacher
And let us say i do,
Then you'll know you'll have me,
And i'll know that i'll have you,
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
I don't want no other love,
Baby it's just you i'm thinking of.

Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
I don't want no other love,
Baby it's just you i'm thinking of.

(words & music by roy turk and lou handman)
Are you lonesome tonight,
Do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day
When i kissed you and called you sweetheart?
Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?
Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there?
Is your heart filled with pain, shall i come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
You know someone said that the world's a stage
And each must play a part.
Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart.
Act one was when we met, i loved you at first glance
You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue
Then came act two, you seemed to change and you acted strange
And why i'll never know.
Honey, you lied when you said you loved me
And i had no cause to doubt you.
But i'd rather go on hearing your lies
Than go on living without you.
Now the stage is bare and i'm standing there
With emptiness all around
And if you won't come back to me
Then make them bring the curtain down.

Is your heart filled with pain, shall i come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

(words & music by sigman - faith)
If you're in arizona, i'll follow you
If you're in albuquerque, i'll be there too
We'll have a little chance to start a-new
Because my love is endless for you

My heart cries for you
Sighs for you, dies for you
My arms long for you
Please come back to me
An unimportant quarrel
Is what we had

We have to learn to live with the good and bad
Come together da da da la dum....
This loneliness is driving me mad

My heart cries for you
Sighs for you, dies for you
My arms long for you
Please come back to me

My heart cries for you
Sighs for you, dies for you
My arms long for you
Please come back to me
Please come back, come back, come back to me

(words & music by calhoun)
Well get out of that bed, wash your face and hands
Get out of that bed, wash your face and hands
Well get in that kitchen
Make some noise with the pots and pans
I believe it to my soul you're the devil in nylon hose
I believe it to my soul you're the devil in nylon hose
For the harder i work the faster my money goes

Well i said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
Well you won't do right
To save your doggone soul

Shake rattle and roll

I'm like the one-eyed cat peeping in a seafood store
I'm like the one-eyed cat peeping in a seafood store
Well i can look at you tell you ain't no child no more
I believe you're doing me wrong and now i know
I believe you're doing me wrong and now i know
'cause the harder i work the faster my money goes

Well i said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
Well you won't do right
To save your doggone soul

Play it again!

I went over the hill, way down underneath
I went over the hill, way down underneath
You make me roll my eyes
And then you make me grit my teeth

Well i said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
Well you won't do right
To save your doggone soul
