(Singleton)

Information:
Don't Forbid Me was written for Elvis by Charles Singleton in 1956, as Elvis revealed during the Million Dollar Quartet session. He said the song was sent to him at the house and stayed there "for ages. I never did see it." After telling the story, Elvis sang Don't Forbid Me. Pat Boone had a number one hit and a million-seller with the song in late 1956 (Dot 15521). 

Lyrics:

Don't forbid me to hold you tight
Darling don't forbid me to hold you tight
Take me in your lovin' arms
'cause it's cold and I can keep you warm

Don't forbid me to talk sweet nothings
Don't forbid me to talk sweet talk
Take me in your arms baby please
'cause it's cold, it's cold and your lips might freeze
