Tonight's All Right for Love

download

(Wayne / Silver / Lilley)

 

Information:

Elvis recorded Tonight's All Right for Love for the European editions of G.I. Blues. Tonight is So Right for Love couldn't be used because of copyright reasons. Sid Wayne, Abner Silver, and Joe Lilley slightly altered the lyrics of Tonight is So Right for Love and used the melody to Johann Strauss's classic Tales from the Vienna Woods, written in 1868. The title originally considered for this song was Vienna Woods Rock and Roll. Elvis's recording session for the new song took place at Radio Recorders on May 6, 1960. Tonight's All Right for Love was finally released in the United States in 1974 on the LP Elvis - A Legendary Performer, Volume 1. The version on the album, however, was edited. The complete recordings were released as a single in West Germany, backed with Wooden Heart, as well as on many foreign LPs. Although the boxed set Elvis Aron Presley listed Tonight is So Right for Love in its contents, it was actually Tonight's All Right for Love.


 Lyrics:
Hold me tight the moon's so bright
Tonight the night is right for love
As one by one the stars appear
I'll hold you oh so close my dear
This could be that magic kiss
That tonight of bliss we've waited for
Oh we could fly right up to the sky
How real it all seems to me
A mid summer night dream to me
Can't you see that tonight's all right for love
Oh we could fly right up to the sky
How real it all seems to me
A mid summer night dream to me
Can't you see that tonight's all right for love
