Elvis Presley Heart of Rome

Elvis Presley Heart of Rome
Written by Geoff Stephens, Alan Blaikley, and Ken Howard. Elvis recorded it June 6, 1970 at RCAs Nashville studios. It is available on Love Letters from Elvis and Walk a Mile in My Shoes: The Essential 70s Masters.

In a little while you're leavin'
Starting on the journey home
Soon I'll be alone, the one who loves you
La la la la la, somewhere in the heart of Rome

I'll make a wish in every fountain
Say a prayer that you'll return
Minutes I'll be counting
May the fire of love still burn
I'll keep your picture by my pillow
And pretend I'm not alone

Make believe that you are with me
La la la la la, in the heart of Rome

Suddenly the tears are falling
As we hear the whistle blow
Hold me very close before you leave me
La la la la la, somewhere in the heart of Rome

I'll make a wish in every fountain
Say a prayer that you'll return
Minutes I'll be counting
May the fire of love still burn
I'll keep your picture by my pillow
And pretend I'm not alone
Make believe that you are with me
La la la la la, in the heart of Rome

I'll make a wish in every fountain
Say a prayer that you'll return
Minutes I'll be counting
May the fire of love still burn
I'll keep your picture by my pillow
And pretend I'm not alone
Make believe that you are with me
La la la la la, in the heart of Rome

If People magazine ever decides to do a 'Sexiest Man that Ever Lived' cover, Elvis wins. There is no competition for this 'Tiger Man'

Thanks for uploading this! For those that did not know-this was originally on the 1971 RCA LP Love Letters From Elvis-it is also on the cd with the same title.

Such a tough song to sing. Elvis - such an awesome job!

[MrHotcrossbun]

Elvis! How much I miss you.

I M O , These lesser known Elvis songs , [ and there ARE many] ,are better than his more obvious songs !!. It really is quite unbelievable how a pathetic radio media [ u k ] would only EVER play the obvious songs over and over again !!While [[ out side of the fan base ]] these hidden gems , sadly stay exactly that ---------- HIDDEN !!!!!
