Let Me Be There

I have a new obsession. The song "Let Me Be There" originally made a hit by Olivia Newton-John, but the cover I like best is by a man named Elvis Presley. He does a great job on Newton-John songs. I still don't know what my true feelings are toward her. She is so cute though, and she has a lovely voice:



Like the Japanese subtitles. I looked for Presley's version, but it isn't here.
Here are the wonderful lyrics:
Wherever you go
Wherever you may wander in your life
Well surely you know, I always wanna be there
Holding your hand
And standing by to catch you when you fall
Seeing you through, in everything you do

(Chorus) I said let me be there in your morning
Let me be there in your night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you to that wonderland that only two can share
All I ask you, is let me be there

Watching you grow
And going through the changes in your life
Thats how I know, I always wanna to be there
Whenever you feel you need a friend to lean on
Here I am
Whenever you call, you know I'll be there

Chorus X 2

All I ask you is let me be there

Chorus



So here is a movie of Elvis doing another one of her songs, If You Love Me, Let Me Know:



The two songs sound similar, as they should. Both written by J. Rostill, who is a great songwriter in my opinion. These songs are beautiful. This Elvis video is from his last months, kinda sad... still has a wonderful voice though!

I have listened to Let Me Be There so many times this weekend. Something like 35 times. It is now in the top 10 on my most played list. I only have Presley's version. I'll look for Olivia's on iTunes. Anyway, hope you enjoy, and perhaps I will make a video of me singing with Elvis and add it to here later ;-)
