Elvis Presley Surrender

Elvis Presley Surrender
Surrender was a contemporary version of the Italian ballad "Torna a Sorrento" ("Coma Back to Sorrento"), which was written in 1911 by G. D. de Curtis and Ernest de Curtis. In 1960, Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman added new English words to the melody and title the song "Surrender," which Elvis recorded October 30, 1960 at RCA's Nashville studios. It entered the Hot 100 chart at #24, and was #1 for two weeks. It spent a total of 12 weeks on the chart. In England, it was number one for four weeks. Sales of over 5,000,000 have been claimed. It was the A-side to Lonely Man. This song is available on Elvis, Elvis-A Legendary Performer, Elvis Golden Records Vol. 3, Elvis: Worldwide 50 Gold Award Hits, The Number One Hits, The Top Ten Hits, Something for Everybody, Artist of the Century, From Nashville to Memphis-The Complete 60s Masters, and 50 Greatest Love Songs, which is where this version is from.

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

What a voice, what looks, what a man, the greatest singer/entertainer of all time, he will never be equaled, god broke the mold the day Elvis was born, he was a one off , a one and only and no one, but no one will ever be good enough to take his place.
