ELVIS PRESLEY. This was gonna be the night tonight I was gonna get to hold you tight But I guess we didn't plan it night Inever stood a chance,we couldn't dance
Cause there's,no room to rhumba in a sports car You can't move forward or back There's no room to do what the beat tells you to Without throwing your spine outta wack
When a little kiss Iwant to steal I hit my head against the steering wheel Now I know the way a pretzel feels All I can do is shout... Hey let me out!!
Cause there's,no room to rhumba in a sports car You can 't move forward or back There's no room to do what the beat tells you to Without throwing your spine outta wack
What a way to waste a day with you Nothing happens that can tell the truth Let's go out and find a telephone boots Yeah that's a better place, Ilike more space
Cause there's ,no room to rhumba in a sports car You can't move forwardor back Therez 's no room to do what the beat tells you to Without trowing your spine outta wack
Oh well,I'm trired and so weary But I must go alone Till the lord comes and calls,calls me away,oh yes Well the morning's so bright And the lamp is alight And the night,night is as black as the sea, oh yes
There will be peace in the valley for me,some day There will be peace in the valley for me, oh lord I pray There 'II be no sadness,no sorrow No trouble,trouble I see There will be peace in the valley for me, for me
Well the bear will be gentle And the wolves will be tame And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes And the beasts from the wild Shall be lit by a child Shall be lit by a child And I'II be changed,changed from this creature that I am,oh yes
There will be peace in the valley for me,some day There will be peace in the valley for me,oh Lord I pray There'II be no sadness,no sorrow No trouble,trouble I see There will be peace in the valley for me, for me.
Do you or don't you love me Such an easy question Why can't Iget an answer Tell me,will you or won 't you need me Why can't get an answer
All you do is give a sigh And beat around the bush Can it be that you're too shy To give yourself a little old push Can you or can't you tell me yes It'ssuch an easy qeustion Why can't Iget an answer.
Oh well, I'm tired and so weary But I must go alone . Till the lord comes and calls,calls me away, oh yes And the lamp is alight And the night,night is as black as the sea ,oh yes
There will be peace in, the valley for me,some day There will be peace in the valley for me,oh Lord I pray There 'II be no sadness,no sorrow No trouble,trouble I see There will be peace in the valley for me,for me
Well the bear will be gentle And the woles will be tame And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes And the beasts from the wild Shall be lit by a cild And I'II be changed,changed from this creature that I am,oh yes
There will be peace in the valley for me, some day There will be peace in the vlley for me,oh Lord I pray There'II be no sadness ,no sorrow No trouble I see There will be peace in the valley for me,for me.
A verry old friend came by today 4cause he was telling everyone in tone About the love that he just found And Marie's the name of his latest flame
Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning I wished him luck and then he said goodbye He was gone but still his words kept returning What else was there for me to do but cry
He talked and talked and I heard him say That she had the longest blackest hair The prettiest green eyes anywhere And Marie's the name of his latest flame
Would you believe that yesterday This girl was in my arm and swore to me She'd be mine eternally And Marie's the name of his latest flame.
Baby let me be, Your lovin' Teddy Bear. Put a chain around my neck, And lead me anywhere On let me be. Your teddy bear.
Idon't wanna be a tiger Cause tigers play too rough I don't wanna be lion 'Cause lions ain 't the kind You love enough. Just wanna be, your Teddy Bear Put a chain around my neck And lead me anywhere Oh let me be Your teddy bear.
1t's a long lonely highway when you're travellin' all alone. And it's a mean old world when you got no-one to call your own And you pass through towns too small to even have a name, oh yes But you gotta keep on goin',on that road to nomhere. Gotta keep on goin ,though there 's no-one to care. Just keep movin' down the line.
It's a long lonely highway without her by my side And it's a trail full of teardrops that keep on being cried My heart 's so heavy it's a low down dirty shame oh yes You gotta keep on ',on that road to nowhere Gotta keep on goin',though there 's no-one to care Just keep movin' down the line.
Igotta rock for my pillow 'neath a weeping willow And the cool grass for my bed My drinking water's muddy so don't you tell me buddy That I wouldn't be better off dead It's a long lonely highway gettin' longer all the time And if she don't come my mind So if you read about me tell her she's the one to blame, oh yes You gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere Gotta keep on goin ',thouugh there 's no-one to care Just keep movin' down the line Movin' down the line Movin' down the line.

De organisatie die de zakenbelangen van het fonds behartigt,bouwt nog steeds voort op de basis die Priscilla indertijd heeft gelegd. Het gros van de inkomsten van het fonds komt niet van royalties op het muzikale oeuvre van ELVIS PRESLEY. De rechten op zijn opnames zijn in het bezit van platenmaatschappij RCA,nu een onderdeel van Sony. Het fonds heeft zich daarom van bij het begin geconcentreed op merchandise en de uitbating van GRACELAND. De woon-en begraafplaats van ELVIS PRESLEY opende zijn deuren in1982 en krijgt nog elk jaar meer dan 600.000 bezoekers over de vloer. Per jaaris dat goed voor ruim 8 miljoen euro.
Elvis Preley had in zijn testament bepaald om al zijn bezittingen na zijn dood onder te brengen in een trustfonds, dat de erfenis moest beheren tot zijn dochter LISA MARIE 25 jaar oud zou zijn. Het fonds kwam via de vader van ELVIS PRESLEY in de handen van zijn ex-vrouw PRISCILLA . Zij heeft van de schamele erfenis een fortuin gemaakt,waardoor LISA MARIE in 1993 in een klap 207 miljoen euro rijker werd.
