Without the word dream, or the concept dream, and without the word blue and the emotions, I would have been really limited in the things I've written and performed.

ELVIS PRESLEY was bigger than life. His success was documented and laid out for him. He came to the first show I had in Memphis, and it was very nice. He sort of treated me like an equal, because we were both fresh in the business. We got to be great friends and kindred souls.

I close my eyes, then I drift away, into the magic night I softly say. A silent prayer, like dreamers do, then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you.

Love ranges from just fascination to something almost spiritual. In the case with my wife Barbara it just keeps growing all the time.

I got a woman that's mean as she can be, sometimes I think she's almost as mean as me.
