About The Song

“And I Love You So” is a popular song written by folk singer and guitarist Don McLean and released on his 1970 debut album, Tapestry. Its chorus features an unusual rhyming scheme for a popular song: ABBA versus the usual AB(C or A)B.

When God showered the blessings of good looks, good voice, and charisma, Elvis Presley must have received the greatest portion. His baritone and tenor voice can cross-over from one genre to another. He could reach the high notes, as well as the low notes, and never failed to leave the audience awed. When he sings an upbeat song, we dance with him; when he goes mellow, we sway with him; when he expresses fondness, we fall in love with him; and when he becomes emotional, our heart goes out with him as well.

One of his fans’ most favorite romantic recording is his “And I Love You So.” His single was recorded on March 11, 1975, in Hollywood, California, at RCA studio. Though it wasn’t his original, he sang like it was his own. Putting his personal rhythm, the song became even more passionate. Presley used it in almost every live show until his passing.
Don McLean owns the credit for the adult contemporary’s original release. “And I Love You So” is a single from McLean’s debut album, Tapestry, which was released in 1970.

The song is a pure expression of love. It’s a story between two lovers who see the true meaning and gratification of life when they met each other. Life has been lonely when their paths did not cross yet. Their mutual feeling strengthens them through whatever circumstance they may face. The song mentions that when everything’s gone, everything else fails, love will remain.

For fellas out there, who are in love, you will surely understand every word from the song. So here’s live version of Elvis Presley’s “And I Love You So” dedicated especially to you. Enjoy watching.

Lyric

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

And I love you soPeople ask me howHow I’ve lived ’til nowI tell them I don’t know

I guess they understandHow lonely life has beenBut life began againThe day you took my hand

And yes, I know how lonely life can beWhen Shadows follow me and the night won’t set me freeBut I don’t let the evening get me downNow that you’re around me

And you love me tooYour thoughts are just for meYou set my spirit freeI’m happy that you do

The book of life is briefAnd once the page is readAll but love is deadThis is my belief

Oh, and yes, I know how lonely life can beWhen shadows follow me and the night won’t set me freeBut I don’t let the evening get me downNow that you’re around me, now you know

Thank youThank you very much
