ELVIS PRESLEY - HEART OF ROME

Written by Alan Blaikley, Ken Howard, Geoff Stephens Recorded in June, 1970 and released in 1971 as the 5th track, side One of the album “Love Letters From Elvis“ In a little while you’re leaving Starting on the journey home Soon I’ll be alone, the one who loves you La la la la la, somewhere in the heart of Rome I’ll make a wish in every fountain Say a prayer that you’ll return Minutes I’ll be counting May the fire of love still burn I’ll keep your picture by my pillow And pretend I’m not alone Make believe that you are with me La la la la la, in the heart of Rome Suddenly the tears are falling As we hear the whistle blow Hold me very close before you leave me La la la la la, somewhere in the heart of Rome I’ll make a wish in every fountain Say a prayer that you’ll return Minutes I’ll be counting May the fire of love still burn I’ll keep your picture by my pillow And pretend I’m not alone Make believe that you are with me La la la la la, in the heart of Rome
