Words & Music: Aaron Schroeder/ Ben Weisman
When they gave out eyes like diamonds
That would shame the stars that shine
My darlin' my darlin'
You were the first in line
When they gave out lips like honey
That hold a new thrill every time
My darlin' my darlin'
You were the first in line

There may be others
that know you longer
Who pledge their hearts to you
But there's no other
could love you stronger
Any stronger than I do
Don't refuse me, say you'll choose me
I'm yours, oh please be mine
My darlin' say I’m your darlin'
The first, and the last in line
Recorded: 1956/09/03, first released on Elvis

Love this 1956 song. It's very touching & a little bit haunting. I never get tired of hearing it.

A sweet 50's love song, love it!

I'd appreciate this song more if there weren't so much reverb covering Elvis' vocals. It's on one of my favorite albums and I like it.

Beautiful melody and beautifully sung. All the ballads were magical on this LP.

It's from one of my all time favourite albums but i find this one a dreary dirge.

This one just doesn't do anything for me. I find it very dreary as opposed to haunting. Elvis had not yet matured as a ballad singer and this one much like "I Love You Because" is well below Elvis' standards.

I love it! It's a classic 50's ballad, sung with so much emotion. Perfect "first love" song! Simple and beautiful!

One of the very few 1950s songs that I can't listen too. A poor production too.

Haunting & beautiful 50's ballad by Elvis. One of my favorites from my favorite LP. The young Elvis vocal is something to behold. Maybe a bit too much echo, but hey that was the sound they were going after. Timeless!
