Elvis expert Ernst Jorgensen once defended "Always On My Mind", calling it a jewel! Never one to argue with Ernst, I wholeheartedly agree, it's one of Elvis' great '70s ballads. Seems to be a popular opinion, too, by the number of artists that have covered it since (just have a look at the "Lyrics and Downloads" section below!). Brenda Lee recorded it first, just prior to Elvis, then later hit versions included those by John Wesley Ryles, Willie Nelson, and the Pet Shop Boys, but it's hard to beat the straight-forward version by Elvis and the Stamps! Film of Elvis in the recording studio was used in Elvis On Tour showing a performance of "Separate Ways", but footage of "Always On My Mind" from these sessions also showed up later in This Is Elvis. |
Other Spins(What did the critics and fans say?)"Always On My Mind" is well sung, with an appeal which suits this excellent song...

Maybe I didn't treat you Quite as good as I should have Maybe I didn't love you Quite as often as I could have Little things I should have said and done I just never took the time You were always on my mind You were always on my mind Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died Give me, give me one more chance To keep you satisfied, satisfied Maybe I didn't hold you All those lonely, lonely times And I guess I never told you I'm so happy that you're mine If I make you feel second best Girl, I'm sorry I was blind You were always on my mind You were always on my mind Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died Give me, give me one more chance To keep you satisfied, satisfied Little things I should have said and done I just never took the time You were always on my mind You are always on my mind You are always on my mind |
