Until It's Time For You To Go

Artist: Elvis Presley

Album: The 50 Greatest Love Songs

Song Length: 3:57

George's Thoughts: Popular and interesting Waltz selection with a slightly more interesting quality to the song than most Waltz tunes. Beautifully sung by Elvis to a perfect 30bpm tempo. A version by Shirley Bassey can be found on "The Ultimate Ballroom Album 3." There are also versions on Dancelife's "Best of Waltz Collection" and "Masters of Modern One." A very nice Vera Lynn version is on Casa Musica's "Best of Ballroom Music Part 8 (Vol 18)."

Song Lyrics:

You're not a dream
You're not an angel
You're a woman
I'm not a king,
I'm a man,
Take my hand
We'll make a space
In the lives that we planned
And here we'll stay
Until it's time for you to go

Yes, we're diff'rent worlds apart
We're not the same
We laughed and played
At the start like in a game
You could have stayed
Outside my heart
But in you came
And here you'll stay
Until it's time for you to go

Don't ask why,
Don't ask how
Don't ask forever,
Love me now

This love of mine
Had no beginning
It has no end
I was an oak,
Now I'm a willow
Now I can bend
And tho' I'll never
In my life see you again
I still stay
Until it's time for you to go
