The Wonder of You
Elvis Presley · On Stage: February 1970
When no one else can understand me
When everything I do is wrong
You give me hope and consolation
You give me strength to carry on
And you're always there to lend a hand
In everything I do
That's the wonder, the wonder of you
And when you smile the world is brighter
You touch my hand and I am a king
Your love to me is worth a fortune
Your love for me is everything
I guess, I'll never know the reason why
You love me as you do
'Cause, that's the wonder, the wonder of you
I guess, I'll never know the reason why
You love me as you do
'Cause that's the wonder, the wonder of you
When everything I do is wrong
You give me hope and consolation
You give me strength to carry on
And you're always there to lend a hand
In everything I do
That's the wonder, the wonder of you
And when you smile the world is brighter
You touch my hand and I am a king
Your love to me is worth a fortune
Your love for me is everything
I guess, I'll never know the reason why
You love me as you do
'Cause, that's the wonder, the wonder of you
I guess, I'll never know the reason why
You love me as you do
'Cause that's the wonder, the wonder of you
