Elvis Presley - The Last Farewell lyrics

Album: From Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennessee (1976)

Theres a ship lies rigged & ready in the harbor
Tomorrow for old England she sails
Far away from your land of endless sunshine
To my land full of rainy skies & gales
And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow
Though my heart´s full of tears at this farewell

For you´re beautiful, I´ve loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
For you´re beautiful, I´ve loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

I have heard theres a wicked war a-blazing
And the taste of war I know so very well
Even now I see the foreign flag a-raising
Their guns on fire as we sail into hell
I´ve no fear of death, it brings no sorrow
But how bitter will be this last farewell

For you´re beautiful, I´ve loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
For you´re beautiful, I´ve loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

Though death & darkness gather all about me
My ship be torn apart upon the seas
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands
And the heaving waves that brought me once to thee
And should I return home safe again to England
I shall watch the English mist roll through the dale

For you´re beautiful, I´ve loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
For you´re beautiful, I´ve loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
