Marguerita
Elvis Presley · Command Performances: The Essential 60's Masters II [1995]
Who makes my temperature rise?
Who makes me tremble with wonderful rapture
With one burning glance, from her eyes
Marguerita
Once I was free as a gypsy
A creature too wild to tame
Then suddenly I saw, Marguerita
And I was caught, like a moth in the flame
Marguerita is her name
Marguerita
Her lips have made me her prisoner
A slave to her every command
She captivates me, and intoxicates me
With one little touch of her hand
Marguerita
Sweet Marguerita sweet,sweet Marguerita
Marguerita

Featured on compilations such as "Command Performances: The Essential 60's Masters II," the song captures the atmospheric quality of his later recordings, blending romantic themes with the polished production typical of his era. It remains a staple of his discography, showcasing his enduring appeal as a vocalist who could navigate complex musical landscapes while maintaining his signature charisma.
