Love Me Tonight

Rating: 4.1 Stars4.1 Stars4.1 Stars4.1 Stars4.1 Stars
Words & Music: Don Robertson
May this tenderness cling
When the fire of Spring
Is a memory
May you still be my own
When a hundred years have flown

But if it can't be
Give this moment to me
While our dream is bright
Put your sweet arms around me
And love me tonight

Love me tonight
Let me feel your lips on mine
And though I pray
Forever and a day I'll be
Possessing you

I'll confess to you
If I knew that our love would be gone
With the stars in the dawn's grey light
I'd still hold you close and whisper
Love me tonight
Recorded: 1963/05/26, first released on Fun in Acapulco

Never really gave this song much thought until I listened to the FTD version on Studio B great lyric and the ending of the song just devine

Pretty song. Great vocal from Elvis. Love this song. 4 stars. I never cared for the newer sounds happening back then. Dislike them even more these days. If Elvis was out of touch so be it. At least his music was still listenable and didn't make me want to wear earplugs.

A moderate ballad which to me sounded OK at the time of release and even now gets the odd play.

I'm on the fence with this one. Good vocal is all I can say about it From 1960-63 and even beyond, Elvis did many of these type of ballads. While ok in the early 60's, after 1964 this sound was quite dated, yet more of these were to come. It really did make Elvis seem out of touch with the newer sounds that were happening.

Good vocals but a particularly bland song for me this one.

Nice song & well sung, but again, Elvis did so many of these ballads , they all tend to blend into each other after a while. He needed new songwriters at this point.

From the Nashville sessions in May of 1963 comes this good ballad that sounds an awful lot like "I'm Falling In Love Tonight" from "It Happened At The World's Fair". Elvis sings it well, but it isn't overly memorable. Included as a bonus song on the "Fun In Acapulco" soundtrack LP in 1963. 3 stars
