I BELIEVE Elvis Presley I BELIEVE (Words & music by Erwin Drake - Irvin Graham - Jimmy Shirl - Al Stillman) I believe for every drop of rain that falls A flower grows I believe that somewhere in the darkest night A candle glows I believe for everyone who goes astray, someone will come To show the way I believe, I believe I believe above a storm the smallest prayer Can still be heard I believe that someone in the great somewhere Hears every word Everytime I hear a new born baby cry, Or touch a leaf or see the sky Then I know why, I believe Everytime I hear a new born baby cry, Or touch a leaf or see the sky Then I know why, I believe
I Just Can't Help Believin' Elvis Presley I Just Can't Help Believin' (words & music by B.J. Thomas) I just can't help believin' When she smiles up soft and gentle With a trace of misty morning And the promise of tomorrow in her eyes I just can't help believin' When she's lying close beside me And my heart beats with the rhythm of her sighs This time the girl is gonna stay This time the girl is gonna stay For more than just a day Oh, I just can't help believin' When she slips her hand in my hand And it feels so small and helpless As my fingers fold around it like a glove I just can't help believin' When she's whispering her magic And her tears are shining honey sweet with love This time the girl is gonna stay This time the girl is gonna stay For more than just a day For more than just a day
If I Can Dream Elvis Presley If I Can Dream There must be lights burning brighter somewhere Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue If I can dream of a better land Where all my brothers walk hand in hand Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true Oh why There must be peace and understanding sometime Strong winds of promise that will blow away All the doubt and fear If I can dream of a warmer sun Where hope keeps shining for everyone Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear We're lost in a cloud With too much rain We're trapped in a world That's troubled with pain But as long as a man Has the strength to dream He can redeem his soul and fly Deep in my heart there's a tremblin' question Still I am sure that the answer, answer's gonna come somehow Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle And while I can think, while I can talk While I can stand, while I can walk While I can dream, please let my dream Come true......right now
In the Ghetto Elvis Presley In the Ghetto (words & music by Scott Davis) As the snow flies On a cold and gray Chicago mornin' A poor little baby child is born In the ghetto And his mama cries 'cause if there's one thing that she don't need it's another little hungry mouth to feed In the ghetto People, don't you understand the child needs a helping hand or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day Take a look at you and me, are we too blind to see, do we simply turn our heads and look the other way Well the world turns and a hungry little boy with a runny nose plays in the street as the cold wind blows In the ghetto And his hunger burns so he starts to roam the streets at night and he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight In the ghetto Then one night in desperation the young man breaks away He buys a gun, steals a car, tries to run, but he don't get far And his mama cries As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man face down on the street with a gun in his hand In the ghetto As her young man dies, on a cold and gray Chicago mornin', another little baby child is born In the ghetto And his mama cries

You Don't Know Me Elvis Presley You Don't Know Me (Words & music by Walker - Arnold) You give your hand to me and then you say hello And I can hardly speak, my heart is beating so And anyone could tell, you think you know me well But you don't know me No you don't know the one who dreams of you at night And longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight To you I'm just a friend, and that's all I've ever been No, you don't know me For I never knew the art of making love Though my heart aches with love for you Afraid and shy I let my chance go by The chance that you might love me too You give your hand to me and then you say good-bye I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy To never, never know the one who loves you so No, you don't know me

Kentucky Rain Elvis Presley Kentucky Rain (words & music by Eddie Rabbit - Dick Heard) Seven lonely days and a dozen towns ago I reached out one night and you were gone Don't know why you'd run, what you're running to or from All I know is I want to bring you home So I'm walking in the rain, thumbin' for a ride On this lonely Kentucky backroad I've loved you much too long; my love's too strong To let you go, never knowing what went wrong. Kentucky rain keeps pouring down, And up ahead's another town that I'll go walking through With the rain in my shoes, searchin for you In the cold Kentucky rain, in the cold Kentucky rain. Showed your photograph to some old gray bearded men Sitting on a bench outside a general store They said "Yes, she's been here" But their memory wasn't clear. Was it yesterday? No, wait the day before. Finally got a ride, with a preacher man who asked, "Where you bound on such a cold, dark afternoon?" As we drove on through the rain, as he listened I explained And he left me with a prayer that I'd find you. Kentucky rain keeps pouring down, And up ahead's another town that I'll go walking through With the rain in my shoes, searchin for you In the cold Kentucky rain, in the cold Kentucky rain.
