About the song
There’s a certain magic that only a few voices in the history of popular music can summon—and one of those voices undeniably belongs to **ELVIS PRESLEY**. With his unmistakable blend of tenderness, strength, and vulnerability, Elvis had an uncanny ability to take a simple melody and elevate it into something emotionally resonant. And that’s exactly what happens in the romantic ballad **PLEASE DON’T STOP LOVING ME**, a track that captures the King of Rock and Roll at one of his most heartfelt moments.
Released in 1966 as the B-side to “Frankie and Johnny,” **PLEASE DON’T STOP LOVING ME** may not be as widely celebrated as some of Elvis’s earlier hits, but it remains a poignant reminder of his softer, more sensitive side. The song was written by Joy Byers and is often associated with the soundtrack of the film *Frankie and Johnny*, in which Elvis starred. What makes this song stand out is its gentle pleading—a theme that resonates deeply with anyone who has ever feared the loss of love.
From the first line, Elvis’s voice is drenched in emotion. He doesn’t shout or boast; instead, he delivers each phrase with a quiet urgency, a kind of humble request rather than a dramatic performance. The orchestration is simple and elegant, allowing Elvis’s vocal delivery to shine. It’s the kind of song that doesn’t try to impress with flash or flair. Instead, it simply speaks—directly and honestly—to the heart.
For longtime fans of **ELVIS PRESLEY**, this song offers a nostalgic glimpse into a period of his career when he was transitioning from the raw energy of his early rock hits to more mature, nuanced expressions of love and longing. And for newer listeners, **PLEASE DON’T STOP LOVING ME** serves as a beautiful introduction to the emotional depth that Elvis was capable of.
There’s something timeless about this track. It’s not just a song—it’s a sentiment, one that feels as relevant today as it did nearly sixty years ago. Whether you’re revisiting it for the hundredth time or discovering it anew, **ELVIS PRESLEY – PLEASE DON’T STOP LOVING ME** is a gentle reminder of the King’s enduring ability to touch the soul.

Lyrics
Please don’t stop loving me
You were born just to be in my arms
In my arms
Please don’t stop loving me
Your lips were made just to be kissed by me
Kissed by me
When I’m with you
I don’t know day from night, wrong from right
You’re my world, that’s all I know
I love you so, I won’t let go
Please don’t stop loving me
Darling, you’ll always be mine alone
Mine alone
