Suppose

Rating: 4.2 Stars4.2 Stars4.2 Stars4.2 Stars4.2 Stars
Words & Music: Sylvia Dee/ George Goehring
Suppose no rose would ever grow again
Suppose no brook would ever flow again
Suppose no star should ever glow again
Suppose you didn't love me

Suppose there were no bees or butterflies
Suppose no bird should ever cross the skies
Suppose the sun should never never rise
Suppose you didn't love me

It's impossible to imagine a world without a star
But imagining no you is more impossible, by far
Suppose the Springtime never should arrive
Suppose the tall green trees should not survive
Suppose I had no wish to be alive
Suppose you didn't love me

It's impossible to imagine a world without a star
But imagining no you is more impossible, by far
Suppose the Springtime never should arrive
Suppose the tall green trees should not survive
Suppose I had no wish to be alive
Suppose you didn't love me
Suppose you didn't love me
Recorded: 1967/03/20, first released on From Nashville to Memphis

Just one word: beautiful. The studio recordings of 66/67 are fantastic. Four stars from me.

Always reminds me too of John Lennons hit. I more or less gave up on Elvis movie soundtracks after 1965 so i didnt come across this gem until after 2000 when i was updating my cd collection. if only this and other gems of the mid 60's been gathered together on one album.

This is the song that inspired John Lennon to compose "Imagine". And you anti-Elvis people thought Lennon stopped listening to "The King" after he entered the army. "Suppose" is a beautiful ballad sung as only Elvis can.

Reminds me of Lennon's "Imagine",totally wasted on the Speedway soundtrack.

This is a great song. One of the finest late 60's ballads and certainly the best song on Speedway where it was totally out of place.

Elvis is in perfect voice and delivers a note perfect performance. Beautiful.

A beautiful ballad, sung, perfectly by Elvis.

A ballad Elvis recorded twice, once for the movie "Speedway" and once in a recording session. The version recorded for "Speedway" was not included in the movie, but did show up on the soundtrack LP as a bonus song. The studio version stayed unreleased until the 60's boxed set in the 90's. Of the two, I actually prefer the one on the "Speedway" LP, but overall it is just a passable ballad.
