Introduction:
For The Millionth And The Last Time is a timeless classic by the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley. Released in 1965 as part of the album “Elvis for Everyone!”, the song is a poignant ballad that showcases Presley’s vocal range and emotional depth beyond his iconic rock ‘n’ roll persona.
Penned by the songwriting duo of Roy C. Bennett and Sid Tepper, the track is a departure from the upbeat, energetic sound that had defined much of Presley’s career. Instead, “For The Millionth And The Last Time” is a tender love song, characterized by its lush orchestral arrangements and Presley’s soulful delivery. The song’s production, helmed by the legendary Steve Sholes, perfectly complements the ballad’s melancholic tone.
While the song did not achieve the same chart-topping success as some of Presley’s earlier hits, it has endured as a fan favorite over the decades. Its inclusion on various compilation albums and its frequent performance in Presley’s live shows solidified its place in the singer’s discography. “For The Millionth And The Last Time” stands as a testament to Elvis Presley’s versatility as an artist, demonstrating his ability to captivate audiences with both raw energy and heartfelt emotion.

Lyrics:
“For The Millionth And The Last Time”
For the millionth and the last time
Darling let me hold you tight
One more kiss and then I promise
I will say my last goodnightThough your lips are so inviting
And I know I’ll wanna stay
Give me one more kiss to dream on
And I’ll be on my wayIt seems a million or so kisses ago
We said goodnight at your door
I didn’t get far ’cause here we are
And I’m still begging for moreWhilst the millionth and the last time
Slowly disappears from sight
For the millionth and the last time
Let me kiss you good-nightIt seems a million or so kisses ago
We said goodnight at your door
I didn’t get far ’cause here we are
And I’m still begging for moreWhilst the millionth and the last time
Slowly disappears from sight
For the millionth and the last time
Let me kiss you good-night
Let me kiss you good-night
Let me kiss you good-night
