Love Me Tender Lyrics

by Elvis Presley

(words & music by vera matson - elvis presley)


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 darlin' 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 dear,

Tell me you are mine.

I'll be yours through all the years,

Till the end of time.

(when at last my dreams come true


Darling this i know

Happiness will follow you

Everywhere you go).
