I'm so sorry 'cause I made you cry
I'll never let you go, 'cause I love you
So please don't ever say good-bye
The stars would tumble down beside me
The moon would hang its head and cry
My arms would never hold another baby doll
If we should ever say good-bye
Well, I'll never let you go
Because I love you, pretty baby
I'm so sorry 'cause I made you cry
I made you cry
Yeah, I'll never let you go
'Cause I love you, little baby
So please don't ever say good-bye

In my teens I used to live for the coda of this song, pure rockabilly, Elvis at his best, before movies ruined him.

A truly young, and remarkable Elvis Presley at his most splendid self! At almost 70 years old, this song is still as great as it was the day it was recorded on tape in 1956!

This is a very beautiful ballad. I remember when I was 12 years old, I wanted to slow-dance to it—maybe a fox trot or a box step. A few years later, My girlfriend and I danced it it several times. She helped me with my step.
