There's So Much World to See

Rating: 3 Stars3 Stars3 Stars
Words & Music: Sid Tepper/ Roy C. Bennett
Baby it's wrong wrong as can be
To try and tie guy like me
I could never settle down in a little sleepy town
There's so much world to see

Sure would be happy for a while
But then we'd have to part
When tears replace your loving smile
Well I don't want to be the guy who has to break your heart
So here's where it ends
Not lovers but friends
Though your lips are tempting me
Maybe I'm a fool and yet
This wanderer just can't forget
There's so much world to see

Sure would be happy for a while
But then we'd have to part
When tears replace your loving smile
Well I don't want to be the guy who has to break your heart
So here's where it ends
Not lovers but friends
Though your lips are tempting me
Maybe I'm a fool and yet
This wanderer just can't forget
There's so much world to see
For me, there's so much world to see
Yeah! yeah! Mmm
Recorded: 1966/06/28, first released on Double Trouble

I unabashedly love this song. I wish the "trains in the night" verse would have made it to the final released version. This song and "City By Night" really kinda blow me away. This is a very Bobby Darin type of track. It's quite lounge-like and swanky. It is a song I can play for non-Elvis fans to amaze them (provided their other musical tastes include Bobby Darin, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole). I compare this song, favorably, to "Just Friends" by Sinatra or Darin. On my fantasy album, if I got to switch places with Ernst someday, this song would be there alongside "Somebody To Lean On", "Such a Night", "City By Night", "This is Our Dance", "Almost" and "Almost In Love" "Edge of Realty", "Wonderful World". In other words, this track goes in my Adult Easy Listening/Lounge/Swing category--a category rarely visited by Elvis (and one I am sure I am defining incorrectly in a broad sense, but to me this is a genre...)

Another different type of song recorded for the movie and LP "Double Trouble". As I said in another review, this LP was up and down. At times, interesting and good, sometimes mediocre and sometimes poor. This one falls in the interesting and good category. Elvis does a good job of phrasing this song and makes it work in the movie and on record.
