Elvis Presley - Love Me Tender Lyrics

Elvis Presley Lyrics

"Love Me Tender"

Love me tender
Love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life complete
And I love you so

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

Love me tender
Love me long
Take me to your heart
For it's there that I belong
And we'll never part

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

Love me tender
Love me dear
Tell me you are mine
I'll be yours through all the years
'Til the end of time

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

This song was featured in the film "Love Me Tender" (1956), where Elvis Presley had his acting debut.

The song was based on a Civil War ballad called "Aura Lee".

Elvis Presley co-wrote very few of the songs he recorded, but his publishing deal required songwriters to concede 50% of the credit if they wanted him to record a song. Ken Darby, a writer of these lyrics, credited his wife as co-songwriter along with Presley "because she didn't write it either", as he said.

This track was co-produced by Elvis Presley despite of him not be mentioned as a producer. He made her own arrangements for most of the songs he recorded.

Elvis Presley performed "Love Me Tender" on The Ed Sullivan Show on the 9th of September 1956, before the single's release. On the following day, RCA received 1 million advance orders, making it a gold record before it was even released.

The original title of the film was "The Reno Brothers" but 20th Century Fox re-titled it "Love Me Tender" because of the song's popularity.
