Presley, Elvis - For Ol' Times Sake Lyrics






Before you go, walk out on me
Take a look around, tell me what you see
Here I stand like an open book
Is there something here, you might have overlooked

'Cause it would be a shame if you should leave
And find that freedom ain't what you thought it would be

The years we had were not all bad
In fact I know the good outweighed the bad
Now you say that you've grown tired
You want to be by yourself a-while

It would be a shame if you should go
And find that freedom was a long time ago

I know that you can't stand the chains that bind you
They just keep on drivin' us apart
And you could go where I could never find you
But could you go far enough to get away from your heart

So one more time, for ol' times sake
Come and lay your head upon my chest
Please don't throw this moment away
We can forget the bad and take the best

If you don't have nothing left to say
Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake

And if you don't have nothing left to say
Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake

  1. M.... G....

    Beautiful. The man with his golden voice

  2. S.... M....

    You just get lost in Elvis voice.

  3. w.... ....

    One of his saddest songs. I swear I can actually hear the heartbreak in his voice. The emotion he sings with is unreal - he sounds devastated. Makes my heart hurt.

  4. J.... C....

    <3 <3 <3

  5. L.... O....

    So beautiful so heartfelt I love this .

  6. k.... m....

  7. E.... T....

    The most magnificent voice on absolutely beautiful lyrics -- Thank you both, very much: EP & Mr. Tony Joe White...RIP both of you -- TCB

  9. A.... ....

    Oh my....so beautiful~

  10. w.... a....

    Life is full of mistakes, heart breaks ,things we do that end up being a regret..trying to live up to an image when in reality u find ur only human.. elvis suffered heart break like so many a man has had.. he had it all but when his life was done he went like every soul will go.. into eternity of the here after.. may gods breath be to his back as he walks threw the halls of everlasting time..

  11. k.... m....

    more than perfect

  12. M.... D....

    I’ve been listening to this beautiful song for 46 years. It is my favorite song off this 1973 album, and one of my top five Elvis songs of all time. This song drips of wistful melancholy that typified Elvis’ mood and psyche in late ‘73. It’s written by Tony Joe White and it’s just mesmerizing.

  13. T.... B....

    awesome tune

  14. E.... M....

    My heart ♥ breaks listening to him what a sad song x ☓ 💜

  15. E.... M....

    2019 I just love this beautiful man best singer on the planet 🌏 my god he was so gorgeous love looking at him day and night God bless you my idol ☓ 💜 ♥️

  16. D.... H....

    i wish it worked out differently for you both Elvis. But,life doesn't do what we want always. Love you Elvis. Miss ya.

  17. M.... S....

    A great song of Tony Joe White !

  18. M.... M....

    tonight, with Tony Joe Whites passing (he wrote this) I come back to Elvis's version. It was Elvis who got me into Tony Joe's music, I was an Elvis fan, so he brought me to Tonys music. Elvis had a way of doing that with many songs....RIP Tony Joe ...and Elvis..

  19. Z.... S....

    To the King

    We know you didn’t like this name
    But your life wasn’t a game.
    You gave all to us.
    Your pure heart an clean soul.
    Elvis,the man who change the world.
    Elvis,our special gold.
    Your tears,your hopes are in heaven now.
    Don’t ask how we we feel without you.
    Your laugh telling us what you was going trough.
    Elvis,the man who won the skies
    You have to know that your music never dies.

  20. C.... D....

    Just perfect what a man what a voice

  21. R.... V....

    Elvis Will Be Ever Crowned The King

  22. A.... C....

    Im very sad elvis i have no one to comfort me right now your my only hope

  23. D.... R....

    Just Elvis 🕺 magical music from the man from Tupelo the King 👑RIP miss you 😘 XX

  24. S.... S....

    It’s such a shame he preferred recording this type of song.
    Guy in his 30’s wanting to record crooner stuff
    Recent show I watched said he didn’t like Burning Love, because he preferred ballads
    He couldn’t understand why his record sales weren’t as good as they used to be

    S.... S....

    If you look at his song choices after his divorce you can clearly see his frame of mind.

  25. e.... v....

    My favorite song.i love that man.

  26. b.... b....

    so sad............

  27. D.... M....

    I don't know man once in a lifetime you will have your best horse. And then you will have your best dog. That's what my papa told me he was a cowboy. And then you will have the greatest singer in the world. And he said that would be Elvis Presley. You know Michael Jackson they say he was more popular than Elvis. Then they say Elvis's presents was higher than anyone. When he walked in the room everybody stared at Elvis. But I'm going to tell you like I think. No man or woman could out sing Elvis Presley. But I don't agree with him being more popular. In their time they both were the most popular singers. And Elvis is still pretty dang Poplar. I see more comments on Elvis Presley songs. That are so amazing. And sometimes you do get an idiot. They must have been listen to Michael Jackson's Thriller album too long. lol

  28. W.... P....

    Very motion and super voice of the king

  29. y.... h....

    Sung to perfection loved it ❤️❤️❤️

  30. 2.... M....

  35. Z.... M....

  36. m.... n....

    Written by Tony Joe White.

  37. A.... C....

    Elvis you take my breath away every time I hear this song

  38. T.... H....

    This is one of the most beautifulest love songs probably ever recorded

  39. G.... ....

    It could have been written especially for E & P. He sings it with such feeling.

  40. C.... D....

    This is a very special song for a very very very special ETA I know and miss very much!!!!!!

  41. W.... S....

    oh so beautiful <3

  42. C.... ....

    I absolutely love the guitar in this song.

  43. S.... H....

    absolutely brilliant. inflection in his voice...undeniable. Music is as it should be - colors on the canvas. One of my favorites...

  44. p.... ....

    i love him

    p.... ....

    LOVE Elvis, too.

  45. H.... ....

    Just read Child Bride -an eye opener to what Priscilla is everything was planned from trapping Elvis in order to marry him then leaving him- to even think about doing that to that beautiful man

    H.... ....

    Why the crossing out don't you like the truth to be told?

  46. K.... V....

    This man was the most beatiful man on earth love him so much I love his voice there will never man like him

    K.... V....

    Elvis - the one and only !!

  47. H.... ....

    Does it get any better than this- He tried everything to win her back

  48. A.... M....

    Sweet voice, beatiful song and great feeling from this words. ..Good times is over. ..

  49. H.... ....

    How could Priscilla treat him so badly

    H.... ....

    How did he treated her??? Is OK when he was with millions of women, but when she find someone, she was bad and everything. Elvis broke his family unfortunately, later he wanted all the same like it was but too late...

    H.... ....

    mk 2017. Exactly.

    H.... ....

    @mk 2017 Yes, i agree with you.

    H.... ....

    @mk 2017 You are mistaken in three ways. First, her parents should have refrained from selling their adopted daughter to the highest bidder. They knew nothing about him or his family except fame and $$$. Secondly, her own words: she knew he was seeing other women ALL the time and stayed with him anyway, allowing it. Then when he fell for Annie, she extorted him into marriage with her pregnancy and her Dad's threats of statutory rape. Third, according to many sources, she was just as unfaithful as he was. Do you know why this happened? She was too young and Elvis was immature, lonely, and reeling from losing his Mom.
    Priscilla lately has confessed to feeling guilty over his death because , her words " I should have never divorced him".
    Exactly, the mother of his child, the man who gave you a luxurious life, the man whose name gave you a lucrative career. Now with drug habit, you went ahead and nailed that coffin shut. I would never leave my husband and certainly when needy like the condition he was in .Wow, two timing him in his own home with his own Martial Arts Trainer. I hope she finds peace. I know Elvis is with the Lord.

    Beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing it with us!

  89. E.... M....

    This is my song, "The" favorite of all times!!!

  90. r.... ....

    Very underrated, understated ballad, overlooked because it was released on a mediocre, assembly line album by RCA. He really deserved more respect as an artist. RCA and the Colonel didn't care about 'artistic expression', just saw Elvis as a cash cow that kept giving and giving, until he was drained.

  91. n.... ....

    @HanksCowboys I would say I don't know really any other artist who actually feels his or her music like Elvis does.

  92. P.... K....

    ELVIS = a song for every mood

  93. C.... V....

    amazing!!!
    thanks for sharig.

  94. C.... M....

    @ElvisSacramento I saw Elvis in March, before his death in August, and
    I still get chills at thinking about seeing him. WOW, still after all this time, WOW.

  95. C.... M....

    I wish I could hold my X-wife and her hold me back.

  96. g.... p....

    marvelous

  97. a.... ....

    The GREATEST entertainer with the greatest fans !!!
