Rating: 3.5 Stars3.5 Stars3.5 Stars3.5 Stars
Words & Music: 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 fulfill
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).
Recorded: 1956/08/24, first released on single

What should I say LMT I hated it and I love it in someway. I can't stand the Live version exept the one from the 68TVshow. The 56 version when they play it on Radio it's okay and I enjoy it. At home I always skeep it. My Band Member he even choose LMT of one of his favorit to play and I told him there are 700 other song which are much better!!

I almost always skip the original recording but love covers of the song. First time i heard it on a "Tribute to Elvis Presley" cassette (with no credits on the performer at all). It was very close to the original though a really smooth version (Strange: the melody of the verses and refrains were swapped). After that Elvis' original recording sounded very simple and annoying. Later Elvis sang it nicely but disturbed the song with kissing the ladies.
