Fountain of Love
Elvis Presley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One thought of you,
My heart begins churning
I feel return
To a fountain of love
My lips and eyes,
They ache to be near you
To hold you here
In my fountain of love

Never be blue
Should your world start sinking
Just come and drink
From my fountain of love
We'll build a new world off
On a high mountain




We'll live
On our fountain of love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Elvis Presley's "Fountain of Love" express the overwhelming feeling of love that the singer has towards the person he is addressing. He considers their love to be a "fountain of love" that is always available for him to return to whenever he feels lost, and something that can provide him with salvation in the worst of situations. The singer's love towards the person is so intense that it aches to be near them, and he wants nothing more than to hold them close to his own "fountain of love."


The second verse of the song is all about the healing power of the fountain of love they share. The singer tells the person that they do not have to be blue or feel down because of whatever life throws at them – they can rely on the love they share as their own personal fountain of love. The song ends on an optimistic note, with the singer and the person they love envisioning a beautiful future together – a world they will build on the foundation of their own fountain of love. The song's lyrics convey a powerful message that the singer's love for this person is limitless, and they will always be by their side when trouble arises.

One thought of you,
Just thinking of you,


My heart begins churning
My heart starts beating so fast,


I feel return
I feel like I'm going back


To a fountain of love
To a place where love is abundant and overflowing


My lips and eyes,
My mouth and my eyes,


They ache to be near you
They long to be close to you,


To hold you here
To embrace you here,


In my fountain of love
In this place of love that I always go to


Never be blue
Never be sad,

If your world starts falling apart,


Just come and drink
Just come and get some love


From my fountain of love
From this place where love is abundant

We'll create a new world


On a high mountain
On a place that's unreachable and great


We'll live
We'll exist


On our fountain of love
In this place where love is abundant and overflowing

I am 51 years old and an Elvis fan since the early 1970's. I have always loved this beautiful song. Elvis's voice is more than perfection.
