Let's Forget about the Stars

Rating: 3.9 Stars3.9 Stars3.9 Stars3.9 Stars
Words & Music: A.L. Owens
If you let the stars keep telling you
Who to love and not to love
You may never find contentment for your heart
You could go unloved forever and darling that means never
Surrender to love, let's forget about the stars

You say that stars have promised you true love ten thousand times
But here you are with a broken heart and mind
I can tell you want to love me from the beating in your heart
Surrender to love, let's forget about the stars

Let's forget about the stars, come follow me my dove
To a world just like the world that you've been dreaming of
Let's not wait too long for something might go wrong
Surrender to love, let's forget about the stars
Let's forget about the stars
Let's forget about the stars
Let's forget about the stars
Recorded: 1968/10/15, first released on Let's Be Friends

I like this song, it is a very nice ballad that is well sung. But why on earth was this origianally intended for Charro? A song about astrology in the old West. Thank goodness someone came to their senses. It would have been a disaster in thet movie.

A song recorded for, but not included in the movie "Charro!". A well-written song beautifully delivered by Elvis that was included on the budget LP "Let's Be Friends" in 1970. This song along with the title track of the LP, "If I'm A Fool", "Change Of Habit", "Almost" and "I'll Be There" made for an entertaining LP.

I am definately from the 'Camden' generation, these albums were my introduction (pretty much) to the big man and I loved this track. Beautiful piano and lovely soft volcals from Elvis. Nicely done. :u)

One of the nice things about having the earlier Camdens released in the late 60's/early 70's was to find an unreleased song like this, a pleasant well sung ballad on a budget LP. Its too bad the Camdens didnt keep up their original purpose instead of issuing awful compilations later on.

I've always like this one! Pity they didn't match the mono version on the Let's Be Friends album when theyreleased the stereo version. That beautiful piano track was almost lost in the stereo mix! Wonder why! I still go for the LP version when I want to listen to this! A little beauty imo!

A largely unknown, unused movie song. Pretty song. Great vocal from Elvis, but nothing special.
One of the best tracks on the original "Let's Be Friends" Camden album.

A nice Elvis track, totally unknown I should imagine to non Presley fans, then again who cares about them!
