Thrill of Your Love
Elvis Presley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have wished for the wealth
Of a great millionaire
I have reached for a bright star above
But the thrill of it all
To me seems so small
When compared to the thrill of your love

I'd rather give (I'd rather give) everything (Give everything)
That I own (that I own) in this world (Own this world)
Than to be all alone and unloved
For no earthly price and no sacrifice
Is too much to give
For your love

I'd rather give (I'd rather give) everything (Give everything)
That I own (that I own) in this world (Own this world)
Than to be all alone and unloved
For no earthly price and no sacrifice




Is too much to give
For your love

Of a great millionaire
Like a wealthy individual

Than to be all alone and unloved
For no earthly price and no sacrifice

@Jeffrey Kaufmann Yes, I know he supposedly got 50% of Elvis's earnings. Jailhouse rock paralleled somewhat the situation, except in the movie Elvis changed the agreement to give the manager a much lower percentage. Colonel Tom Parker, was Dutch, not Hungarian, by the way.
