Love me tender love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life complete
And I love you so

Love me tender love me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For my darlin’ I love you
And I always will

Love me tender love me long
Take me to your heart
For it’s there that I belong
And we’ll never part

Love me tender love me dear
Tell me you are mine
I’ll be yours thru all the years
Till the end of time

– Elvis Presley, 1956
