Elvis Presley - Surrender



I don't recognize it. :-3



:guitarist

When we kiss my heart's on fire

Burning with a strange desire

And I know, each time I kiss you

That your heart's on fire too



So, my darling, please surrender

All your love so warm and tender

Let me hold you in my arms, dear

While the moon shines bright above



All the stars will tell the story

Of our love and all its glory

Let us take this night of magic

And make it a night of love



Won't you please surrender to me

Your lips, your arms, your heart, dear

Be mine forever

Be mine tonight

True but you were conceived around the first Valentines day of the 70's so that's close enough in my book

I was making assumptions based on the name alone...

sorry, but being a guy, I don't really "fancy" being associated with anything,..shall I say "Prince Charming", unless of course you are a lovely a lady talking about me. :yh_wink :yh_flower

I did actually check out the video from youtube...

I actually thought they were filming from within a psycho ward...

Sorry, but the drag queens in the video sort of turned me off of it...I'm guessing that, that was in reference to the historical gender barriers in the plays of modern day Shakespeare. I can understand something like that, but still wouldn't care to watch it...:wah:

I like women in my videos...:wah: ...you know....THOSE women...yeah....:wah:
