I have always liked this song because it was Elvis's favourite song he recorded. He played it over and over again. Elvis's daughter's middle name is Marie. I play this song all the time on my cd player when I go shopping. I own it on record, cassette and now CD. Thanks Elvis for such a great song. Lynn

I love all Alvis songs but this one touched my heart and is my all time favorite brenda terjelian

I like this song alot. Its got a degree of depth in the lyrics, and Elivs has a sort of sadness in his voice as he considers the past. Its a good Elvis song that I think is often unrecognized. I also like the guitar and the fast pace. I would love to play this on guitar-in fact I'm trying to learn it right now. charizardpal

I like this song because of the combination of piano, guitar drums and tempo.It's just beautiful.Too bad we lost such an artist.there's lot to learn about his life.

marie is my best friend and elvis sings it the best rachel
