Elvis Presley Song:

Always On My Mind (1972)

(Music and lyrics by Johnny Christopher, Mark James, and Wayne Carson Thompson)

Originally recorded by Brenda Lee, Elvis recorded his version the same year as she. Various other artists have since also recorded this song, for example Pet Shop Boys and Willie Nelson. You can find 'Always On My Mind' on Elvis 2nd to None CD. The main character of this song is sorry and apologetic, asking for one more chance with her girl. He's afraid her sweet love has died. He recognizes he didn't treat her quite as good as he should have, and that he just never took the time to say and do some little things he should have said and done. The chorus line says: "You were always on my mind. You were always on my mind. Tell me, tell me, that your sweet love hasn't died. Give me, give me, one more chance To keep you satisfied, satisfied."



I think he never got over his wife that song real said it to her. I love Elvis but his heart was his wife.

This is a very very beautiful song that Elvis sang. I am very grateful to have his song "Always on my mind". This song is a touching song for me, for my 19-year old daughter was brutally murdered in 2004. Every day I cry and wish she was still here with us. I look at her urn every day and tell her that I love her. I listen to "Always on my Mind" just about every day. Elvis has just the right voice to make the song sound just perfect, and he was just hot hot hot. God blessed him with the looks and and the voice. Thank you Elvis for one beautiful song. You are still in our hearts and will never be forgotten We love you forever

I just love this song, so true in words. This song has always been one of my favorites and the first time I heard it , it touched my heart, like many of Elvis songs and combination with his voice have. When I hear it, I think about Elvis and Priscilla and that she was special for him, and how he didn't realize what he had before it was to late. But that he loved her deeply, no question about it.

Thank you Priscilla for taking care of his memory.
You make me as a fan proud , You knew the man behind the name,
and thank you for letting us see a glimpse of what he was all about.
He was The King Elvis Presley, but also a very human being

Probably, the best way Elvis expressed him self was through his songs. HE WAS REALLY A GREAT ARTIST. GREAT VOICE, SEXY AND CREATIVE.

ELVIS, I LOVE YOU1!!!
The song is touching and reflects true love. Only those who have fallen in love (true one) will know the meaning in depth.

I really love this song because it came out about the time that Pricilla and Elvis were going through a divorce, and he truly cared for her and he knew that he could have done things for her that he never had time to do.

When me and my girlfriend broke up that song played and I sung it just like Elvis did. People say I could be Elvis in a different life. I don't think so.

Long Before Willy Nelson put his twang to it,.... Elvis had placed a patent on the way this song should be delievered. Listen to both artist singing this beautiful song and you'll understand. Elvis had a rich full voice and his special delivery made it special.

There was a classmate that I had a close relationship with. We just never made it a solid duo. We were never together, but always talked about being together. One of us held back all the time...other dates, etc. After a few decades we reconnected. I had always thought of him in regards to this song, that it was his words to me. I found out that I had been right. These were his thoughts as he heard of my marriage. We hurt each other deeply, but we are happy that each found marriages that have and will continue to last decades, but we now know our feelings.

24K Gold Music Shows is a large oldies musical revue (126 people) performing primarily in Florida. The shows are filled with lots of choreography, energy, and great fun with oldies, country, and Elvis songs.

The last 1/3 of each evening show is an Elvis Tribute, featuring his music based on arrangements from his 1970s concerts. And every show is different.

24K Gold Music Shows understands there was only one Elvis Presley, so NO ONE in in the band will ever attempt to "impersonate" Elvis or pretend to be him, nor even be as good as Elvis! The show they are doing is a sincere tribute to the King, with NO attempt to mock him.

So in 24K Gold Music Shows Elvis tribute show you will be reminded of Elvis through his songs, sung with similar arrangements to those he used in concert, and see some similar costumes to those he wore, just for nostalgia's sake.
