I was blessed to be born under a blue suede star which shone on me, so I could walk with musical legends that have sold and been on more number one hit records worldwide than any other musical acts in the history of popular music.
I walked them golden stairs, passed through those Graceland gates and partied ’till the early hours – it eas like being on a cloud floating in rock ‘n’ roll heaven. Dreams do come true do never stop believing anything is possible.
My journey wasn’t to the land of make-believe. I was awake, conscious and full of life – a path of highs and lows and there was no getting off this bus.
Let me take you by the hand, so you can too share my diaries of laughter and unbelievable times in the music and entertainment business. Welcome to my world of… Blue Suede Dreams.

Girl Of My Best Friend
Johnny Earle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way she talks
How long can I pretend
Oh I can't help it, I'm in love
with the girl of my best friend
Her lovely hair
Her skin so fair
Oh I can't help it, I'm in love
With the girl of my best friend
I want to tell her how I love her so
And then hold her in my arms but then
What if she got real mad and told him so
I could never face either one again
oh the way they kiss
Their happiness
Will my aching heart ever mend
Or will I always be in love
With the girl of my best friend
Never end
Will it ever end
Please let it end
Will it ever end
The song "Girl of My Best Friend" by Johnny Earle portrays the internal conflict of a man who has fallen in love with the girlfriend of his best friend. The lyrics describe the physical features of the girl such as the way she walks, talks, her lovely hair and fair skin. The man cannot help but be in love with her and he yearns to tell her how he feels, but he fears the consequences of his actions. The fear of losing his best friend and the girl’s possible rejection prevents him from confessing his love. The pain and heartache he experiences due to his unrequited love can be felt in the lyrics. The singer is torn between his loyalty to his friend and his love for the girl.
The lyrics also bring out the singer's jealousy towards his best friend and the girl he loves. The couple's happiness brings him pain and longing to be with her instead. He wonders if his aching heart will ever mend, or if he will forever be in love with her, unable to move on from his feelings. The song leaves the listener to wonder if he will ever confess his love or if he will keep his feelings repressed.

Excellent, but I like Ral Donner's version best, maybe it's because I heard Ral's first, Elvis's is in my favourites also. Johnny Earle is a fantastic singer, he Gets Elvis across in every way.
