Impossible Dream

(25 Elvis Presley Song Titles Used- (bold Print)


One night together, in your lovin' arms... 
dear Elvis, my love fairytale, you rule. 
I'm all shook up, stirred by your true love charms. 
Please love me tender; promise, don't be cruel.

Dear Elvis, my love fairytale you rule.
Since I can't help falling in love with you,
please love me tender; promise, don't be cruel;
this fever, burning love...my wish come true.

Since I can't help falling in love with you,
it's now or never...be my teddy bear.
This fever, burning love...my wish come true...
you're always on my mind; love me with care.

It's now or never...be my teddy bear.
Don't send me to blue moon, heartbreak hotel. 
You're always on my mind; love me with care;
if I've lost you, I beg of you, don't tell.

Don't send me to blue moon, heartbreak hotel.
Suspicious minds may mock my just pretend.
If I've lost you, I beg of you, don't tell...
Must reconsider baby...this might end.

Suspicious minds may mock my just pretend...
impossible dreams...that you'll think of me.
Must reconsider baby...this might end.
Tonight's so right for love...but cannot be.

Impossible dreams...that you'll think of me.
I'm all shook up, stirred by your true love charms.
Tonight's so right for love...but cannot be...
one night together, in your lovin' arms.
