Elvis Presley And The Grass Won't Pay No Mind

Elvis Presley And The Grass Wont Pay No Mind
Written by Neil Diamond. Elvis recorded it February 18, 1969 at American Sound Studios in Memphis, TN. It is available on Back in Memphis, From Memphis to Vegas/From Vegas to Memphis, Suspicious Minds (1999), and From Nashville to Memphis-The Essential 60s Masters, which is where this version is from.

Listen easy, you can hear God calling
Walking barefoot by a stream
Come unto me, your hair's softly falling
On my face as in a dream
And the time will be our time
And the grass won't pay no mind

Saying nothing, lying where the sun is
Baking down upon our sides
My lips touch you, with their soft wet kisses
Your hands gentle in reply
And the time will be our time
And the grass won't pay no mind

Child, touch my soul with your cries
And the music will know what we've found
I, hear a hundred good-byes
But today I hear only one sound
The moment we're living is now
Now now now now now now now

Young birds flying, and a soft wind blowing
Cools the sweat inside my palms
Close my eyes, hear the flowers growing
As you lay sleeping in my arms
And the time will be our time
And the grass won't pay no mind
No the grass won't pay no mind

Elvis was also blessed with a caring and loving heart. He believed in sharing his good fortune. Elvis is a wonderful gentleman inside and out. I love Elvis.

all of us who were blessed to have seen Elvis live on stage are just that....blessed ! Elvis had a relationship with his fans that todays artists could not even comphrehend let alone achieve. When he died it was as though we had lost a close family member. We are all better for having known him. We miss you E !!

Andy Williams also did this Incredible song. And I for the sake of god can't find it. BUT I do have a copy of I recorded off of the radio back in the 1970's on a cassette.

Elvis Rock on... You be the Man...

When I listen to this song I feel compelled to compare it with those produced by the talentless wannabes who continue to emerge from the likes of the X factor. This is proper singing from a huge natural talent not the over sung, over produced and over hyped rubbish from the current crop of so called stars. I feel privileged to have witnessed Elvis at his very best - he will live on forever. I too heard it for the first time on Radio 2 on Sat morning.
