The Last Farewell (take 2) – Elvis Presley lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

There’s a ship lies rigged and ready in the harborTomorrow for Old England she sailsFar away from your land of endless sunshineTo my land full of rainy skies and gales
And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrowThough my heart is full of tears at this farewell
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearlyMore dearly than the spoken word can tellFor you are beautiful, I have loved you dearlyMore dearly than the spoken word can tell
I’ve heard there’s a wicked war a-blazingAnd the taste of war I know so very wellEven now I see that foreign flag a-raisingTheir guns on fire as we sail into Hell
I have no fear of death, it brings no sorrowBut how bitter will be this last farewell
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearlyMore dearly than the spoken word can tellFor you are beautiful, I have loved you dearlyMore dearly than the spoken word can tell
Though death and darkness gather all about meAnd my ship be torn apart upon the seasI shall smell again the fragrance of these islandsAnd the heaving waves that brought me once to thee
And should I return safe home again to EnglandI shall watch the English mist roll through the Dale
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearlyMore dearly than the spoken word can tellFor you are beautiful, I have loved you dearlyMore dearly than the spoken word can tell
