When everything I do is wrong
You give me hope and consolation
You give me strength to carry on
And you're always there
To lend a hand in everything I do
That's the wonder, the wonder of you
And when you smile, the world is brighter
You touch my hand and I'm a king
Your kiss to me is worth a fortune
Your love for me is everything
I guess I'll never know
The reason why you love me like you do
That's the wonder, the wonder of you
I guess I'll never know
The reason why you love me as you do
That's the wonder, the wonder of you

"Burning Love"
Lord Almighty,
I feel my temperature rising
Higher higher
It's burning through to my soul
Girl, girl, girl, girl
You gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go
Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
I feel my temperature rising
Help me, I'm flaming
I must be a hundred and nine
Burning, burning, burning
And nothing can cool me
I just might turn to smoke
But I feel fine
'Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
And you light my morning sky
With burning love
It's coming closer
The flames are now licking my body
Won't you help me
I feel like I'm slipping away
It's hard to breath
My chest is a-heaving
Lord, have mercy
I'm burning a hole where I lay, yeah
Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
With burning love
Ah, ah, burning love
I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love

@@enq3920 Actually, John Lennon meant Elvis popularized the rock n' roll, this let us say that he INVENTED rock n roll. Geing on the top of the list of best-sellers, influencing millions of people to listen to rock and roll like music, and even dress and act like the guy!
