Memories,
Pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories,
Sweetened through the ages just like wine

Quiet thoughts come floating down
And settle softly to the ground
Like golden autumn leaves around my feet
I touched them and they burst apart with sweet memories,
Sweet memories

Of holding hands and red bouquets
And twilights trimmed in purple haze
And laughing eyes and simple ways
And quiet nights and gentle days with you

Memories,
Pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories,
Sweetened through the ages just like wine,
Memories,
Memories

Of holding hands and red bouquets
And twilights trimmed in purple haze
And laughing eyes and simple ways
And quiet nights and gentle days with you

Memories,
Pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories,
Sweetened through the ages just like wine
Memories,
Memories,
Sweet memories,
Memories...

My darling wife was a massive Elvis fan and introduced me to his music, she was 19 years older than me and most said we wouldnt last, 38 years later I lost the love of my life to cancer and I had this played at her funeral . I miss you .

Elvis was the best friend i ever had in my entire life. we met when i was 17 yrs old. I won a radio show contest and the prize was a day with Elvis but our friendship lasted past that one day in time. All the memories of my friend are tucked safe in my heart forever. i saw him a few weeks before he passed we had a short conversation which i will never share again because people are so nasty and comment hurtful heart breaking things they do not know me but they still can't keep their mouths closed about things they know nothing about. I walk past Graceland everyday. love from the one and only Memphis Tn.

The fact that John Lennon said this, respect to him, it's the truth.

From roaring thunder to a gentle flowing stream is the voice of Elvis. Just beautiful.

What the hell?! There are people disliking this? Elvis makes my heart stop ❤️ he’s gorgeous, a great singer and the best artist of all times! He wasn’t called “The King” for nothing.

My mom was a huge Elvis fan. I prepped an all-Elvis playlist for her funeral. This was the song that kicked it off. I know dear mom approved.
