(Linde)

Information:
For The Heart was written by Dennis Linde and recorded by Elvis at Graceland on the night of February 5-6, 1976. Composer Linde played bass on the recording. (It was overdubbed at a later date). The single release had an 11-week stay on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, peaking at #28 (on the strength of the flip side, Hurt). For the Heart reached #6 on the country chart.

Lyrics:

 

Had a dream about you baby, had a dream 'bout me and you
Had a dream and woke
up crying
Well I can roll but I just can't rock
And the time's going by, tick-tock
For the heart, I just can't love no-one but you

Well I’m high and dry and lonely, I’m as lonely as can be
And I stare out of my window
Well I can play but I just can't win
And the weather's looking dim
For the heart that just can't love no-one but you

1. For the heart (I can't love no-one but you)
For the heart (I can't love no-one but you)
For the heart that just can't love no-one but you

1. (Repeat)

Had a dream about you baby, had a dream 'bout me and you
Had a dream and woke up crying
Well I can roll but I just can't rock
And the time's going by, tick-tock
For the heart, that just can't love no-one but you

1. 1. 1. (Repeat)
