(Robertson)

Information:
I’m Counting On You was written by Don Robertson and recorded by Elvis on January 11, 1956, at RCA’s Nashville studios. Backing vocals were by Gordon Stoker, Ben Speer, and Brock Speer. Later in 1956, Kitty Wells had a # 9 country hit with I’m Counting On you (Decca 30094).

Lyrics:

All the words that I'll ever know still could not say
How much I need you so in every way
I done wrong and you guide me as only you can do
Hold my hands, stand beside me, I'm counting on you

1. I'm counting on you, dear, from the dawn of each day
To always come through, dear, in your kind lovin' way
If you'd knew just how deeply I feel things you do
Then you'd know how completely I'm counting on you

1. (repete)
