Lyrics
Love me tender, love me sweet,
Never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
And I love you so.
Love me tender, love me true,
All my dreams fulfill.
For my darlin', I love you,
And I always will.
Love me tender, love me long,
Take me to your heart
For it's there that I belong
And we'll never part
Love me tender, love me true,
All my dreams fulfill.
For my darlin', I love you,
And I always will.
Love me tender, love me dear,
Tell me you are mine.
I'll be yours through all the years,
Till the end of time.
When at last my dreams come true,
Darling, this I know:
Happiness will follow you,
Everywhere you go.
Love me tender, love me true,
All my dreams fulfill.
For my darlin', I love you,
And I always will.
Never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
And I love you so.
Love me tender, love me true,
All my dreams fulfill.
For my darlin', I love you,
And I always will.
Love me tender, love me long,
Take me to your heart
For it's there that I belong
And we'll never part
Love me tender, love me true,
All my dreams fulfill.
For my darlin', I love you,
And I always will.
Love me tender, love me dear,
Tell me you are mine.
I'll be yours through all the years,
Till the end of time.
When at last my dreams come true,
Darling, this I know:
Happiness will follow you,
Everywhere you go.
Love me tender, love me true,
All my dreams fulfill.
For my darlin', I love you,
And I always will.

Song Status
"Love Me Tender" was the theme song from the first Elvis movie. It also represented a brand-new sound for the King. He sang in his softest voice, accompanied only by his own acoustic guitar. The melody came from the Civil War-era ballad "Aura Lee," adapted by the movie's musical director, Ken Darby, who gave credit to Watson, his wife.
