NO MORE - (La Paloma) - Elvis Presley - Blair Hal - Don Robertson – No more do I see the starlight caress your hair No more feel the tender kisses we used to share I close my eyes and clearly my heart remembers A thousand good-byes could never put out the embers Darling I love you so and my heart forever Will belong to the memory of the love that we knew before Please come back to my arms, we belong together Come to me let`s be sweethearts again and then let us part no more. No more do I feel the touch of your hand on mine No more see the lovelight making your dark eyes shine Oh how I wish I never had caused you sorrow But don`t ever say for us there is no tomorrow Darling I love you so and my heart forever Will belong to the memory of the love that we knew before Please come back to my arms, we belong together Come to me let`s be sweethearts again and then let us part no more. No more do I see the starlight caress your hair No more feel the tender kisses we used to share I close my eyes and clearly my heart remembers A thousand good-byes could never put out the embers Darling I love you so and my heart forever Will belong to the memory of the love that we knew before Please come back to my arms, we belong together Come to me let`s be sweethearts again and then let us part no more. No more do I feel the touch of your hand on mine No more see the lovelight making your dark eyes shine Oh how I wish I never had caused you sorrow But don`t ever say for us there is no tomorrow

lyrics

No more do I see the starlight caress your hair
No more feel the tender kisses we used to share
I close my eyes and clearly my heart remembers
A thousand good-byes could never put out the embers

Darling I love you so and my heart forever
Will belong to the memory of the
love that we knew before
Please come back to my arms, we belong together
Come to me let`s be sweethearts again
and then let us part no more.

No more do I feel the touch of your hand on mine
No more see the lovelight making your dark eyes shine
Oh how I wish I never had caused you sorrow
But don`t ever say for us there is no tomorrow

Darling I love you so and my heart forever
Will belong to the memory of the
love that we knew before
Please come back to my arms, we belong together
Come to me let`s be sweethearts again
and then let us part no more.

No more do I see the starlight caress your hair
No more feel the tender kisses we used to share
I close my eyes and clearly my heart remembers
A thousand good-byes could never put out the embers

Darling I love you so and my heart forever
Will belong to the memory of the
love that we knew before
Please come back to my arms, we belong together
Come to me let`s be sweethearts again
and then let us part no more.

No more do I feel the touch of your hand on mine
No more see the lovelight making your dark eyes shine
Oh how I wish I never had caused you sorrow
But don`t ever say for us there is no tomorrow

Darling I love you so and my heart forever
Will belong to the memory of the
love that we knew before
Please come back to my arms, we belong together
Come to me let`s be sweethearts again
and then let us part no more.

This song is of Spanish origin and was written by Sebastián Iradier under the title "La Paloma" in the 1850s.

Don Robertson: In January of 1961 I had received a letter from Freddy Bienstock at Elvis Presley Music in New York regarding material for Elvis to perform in one of the scenes in the movie, Blue Hawaii. Because of the great success of It's Now Or Never (adapted from O Solo Mio), he said they would like to have another adaptation of an old Italian or French (Public Domain) folk song with new English lyrics for Elvis to record. I remembered one of my childhood favorites, La Paloma. I enlisted Hal Blair's aid and we began work on it.

I didn't have a copy of the music, so I worked it out from memory. This was probably a blessing in disguise, because it took on a unique quality, different from the song I had learned as a child. Hal and I spent most of a day in my office in Hollywood. I sat at the piano and he pulled up a chair next to me and we followed our usual procedure, both of us coming up with lyric phrases and trying them out as I worked on the arrangement and sang in Elvis' style. The lyric and the arrangement gradually evolved until we had a song we thought would fit Elvis and that we felt he might like. I set up a demo session at RCA on Sunset Blvd, just down the street from my office. I've forgotten who the engineer was, most likely either Al Schmidt (later on a Grammy winner) or Jim Malloy. I liked working with either of them. Both top of the line, plus the positive and encouraging attitudes so essential to counteracting the insecurity I invariably felt when presenting a new piece of work. I had recently helped my friend and colleague Bonnie Guitar with one of her projects so I asked her to play some guitar rhythm for me (besides her exceptional vocal artistry, Bonnie plays great rhythm guitar). I showed her what I had in mind for the guitar rhythm while I played the B3 organ).Then I overdubbed the vocal and, despite the small orchestra, we came out with what seemed to be a pretty effective expression of the song. I made a lead sheet and sent it, along with the demo, to Freddy. The fact that the arrangement on Elvis' recording follows my demo almost note for note - including my vocal phrasing - was a rewarding validation of the effectiveness of the demo as well as telling Hal and me that we hit the bull's eye with the song.

February 25, 1961 - Elvis appears in Memphis at a luncheon in his honor, and numerous recent awards Elvis has received are shown to the press and others attending. A press conference follows'. Elvis Presley Day' is proclaimed by Tennessee Governor Buford Ellington. Every year after this, Elvis donates money to a list of Memphis-area charities, eventually reaching fifty or more, usually around Christmas time. Within a few years, to show their appreciation the city gives him a massive plaque listing fifty charities

Elvis Aron Presley (January 8, 1935 - August 16, 1977), also known as The King of Rock and Roll (sometimes shortened to The King) was an American singer and actor.
Elvis Presley is widely credited with bringing rock and roll into mainstream culture. According to Rolling Stone magazine "it was Elvis who made rock 'n' roll the international language of pop." A PBS documentary once described Presley as "an American music giant of the 20th century who singlehandedly changed the course of music and culture in the mid-1950s." . His recordings, dance moves, attitude and clothing came to be seen as embodiments of rock and roll. Presley sang both hard driving rockabilly and rock and roll dance songs and ballads, laying a commercial foundation upon which other rock and roll musicians would build. African-American performers like Little Richard and Chuck Berry came to national prominence after Presley's acceptance among mass audiences of white teenagers. Singers like Jerry Lee Lewis, the Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison and others immediately followed in his wake, leading John Lennon to later observe, "Before Elvis, there was nothing."
