Young and Beautiful
Elvis Presley · A Date With Elvis
You're so young and beautiful
And I love you so
Your lips so red, your eyes that shine
Shame the stars that glow
So fill these lonely arms of mine
And kiss me tenderly
Then you will be forever young
And beautiful to me
You're so young and beautiful
You're everything I love
Your angel smile
Your gentle touch
Are all I'm dreaming of
Oh, take this heart I offer you
And never set me free
Then you will be forever young
And beautiful to me
And I love you so
Your lips so red, your eyes that shine
Shame the stars that glow
So fill these lonely arms of mine
And kiss me tenderly
Then you will be forever young
And beautiful to me
You're so young and beautiful
You're everything I love
Your angel smile
Your gentle touch
Are all I'm dreaming of
Oh, take this heart I offer you
And never set me free
Then you will be forever young
And beautiful to me
