Is It So Strange
Words & Music:
Faron YoungOh, if you tell a lie
You know that I'll forgive you
Though you say our love is just a game
And when you hear my name
You'll say I'm from a strange world
But is it so strange to be in love with you
Is it so strange
That I love you more than all the world
Is it so strange
I have no eyes for any other girl
Oh won't you take me back
And say that you still love me
To waste a love like ours would be a sin
Let us kiss again
Let me hold you near
And take me from this strange world

Faron Young didn't want to give up the rights to this song. Elvis recorded it nevertheless. Thank God he did.
Fabulous record in that great beat/ballad 50's style. When he goes up, there is no other voice in the world that sounds like that. Great song.
