Information:
Elvis sang I’m Yours in his 1965 movie Tickle Me.
He recorded the song, however, four years earlier on June 26, 1961, at RCA’s
Nashville studios. The single release of I’m Yours had an 11-week stay on
Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, reaching # 11. On the Easy-Listening chart,
it replaced You Were On My Mind by We Five at number one in October 1965.
After a three-week stay, I’m Yours was bounced out of the top spot by Herb
Alpert’s Taste of Honey. Sales globally have reportedly exceeded on million
copies. I’m Yours was composed by Don Robertson and Hal Blair. Eight years
after Elvis recorded the song, co-composer Robertson recorded his own
composition (RCA 47-9721).
Lyrics:
My love I offer you now, my heart and all it can give
For just as long as I live I’m yours
No arms but yours, dear, will do, my lips will always be true
My eyes can only see you, I’m yours
And as the years roll along your joy, your tears I’ll gladly share
And when things go wrong, dear, just hold out your hand and I’ll be there
With every beat of my heart, with every breath that I take
Now and forever, sweetheart,
I’m yours
With every beat of my heart, with every breath that I take
Now and forever, sweetheart,
I’m yours
