My Favorite Elvis Songs

My Favorite 
Elvis Songs



If I Can Dream

The finale of his comeback special.
This song seemed to be important to Elvis.
Or maybe he poured his heartfelt need to recapture lost glory 
into this song to give such a magnificent performance.
Plus, the song has strong lyrics.

ELVIS LIVES If I Can Dream 25TH ANNIVERSARY


The Wonder of You

Although this is a love song, 
this makes me think of God. 
Although we rebel and sin and profane His Holy Name, 
God loves us so much He sent His Only Begotten Son 
to shed His Holy Blood and die on the cross for our sins 
and rose again to grant us eternal life, 
so that whoever repents of his/her sin 
and believes in Jesus Christ will be forgiven 
and welcomed into Heaven. 
Not because of what we have done, 
but because of what Jesus did for us. 
Why? 
Because that is The Wonder of God.
Elvis may have been the king of rock and roll, 
but Jesus Is and Always Will Be
The King of Glory, The King of the Universe.
Elvis would want you to know that.

Always On My Mind

Fun song.
And guess what?
Although this is another love song, 
this makes me think of God too.

And my secret favorite Elvis song ....

Memories

Why a secret?
Maybe because it's so emotional.
He sang so many fun, peppy songs; 

and here I am liking a slow, "sappy" one.

Lots of other favorites. Heartbreak Hotel (a rare version of which appears in my Heaven-Bent post: Remembering Elvis) if only because it's such a fun song to sing and to which to impersonate Elvis. As are Jailhouse Rock and That's All Right. Might as well add Don't Be Cruel and Teddy Bear to that list too. 

Other favorites include: My WaySuspicious Minds, Kentucky Rain, and You Don't Have to Say You Love Me. Great songs that still sound great. More complex lyrically, musically, and vocally than his 1950s' hits.


"Thank you. Thank you very much.
Adios. And God bless."
