Elvis Presley - Pieces Of My Life [Alternate Takes 2-3]
Recorded March 12, 1975
Song ©Sony Music
Lyrics:
A water glass full of whiskey
And women that I never knew too well
Lord, the things I've seen and done
Most of which I'd be ashamed to tell
I don't know how it started
But that's what makes a man a man, I guess
Now I'm holdin' on to nothing'
Tryin' to forget the rest
I'm lookin' back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away
Well, I've found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But I guess I threw the best parts away
Lord away, away
Playing the bars, playing like a star
Anything to get a name
Carryin' on, living on songs
My friends wrote to me to sing
I'm lookin' back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away
Well, I've found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But I guess I threw the best parts away
Away, away
Lord, the pieces of my life
They're everywhere, they're everywhere
And the one I miss most of all
Is you and you know who
Lookin' back on my life, Lord
To see if I can find the pieces
Lookin' back on my life, today
To see if I can find the pieces
Lookin' back on my life
God help me find the pieces

❤since morning this song has been playing in my head, finally, tonight I listened to it live here in the performance of the only and ❤ beloved Elvis❤

This type of song is what Elvis did best. Songs that meant something to him, and not overcrowded with too much backing and over production. His clear silky voice with all its clarity and unrivalled tone.....this recording has it all, many thanks for uploading.

Elvis Presley 👑 did not die on August 16, 1977, he went to a "better land".

The best and sweetest person in the whole wide world! What a beautiful song! THNX for sharing!
Elvis forever!

[@Gfaithful63]

NOBODY, past, present, and I am sure I can add future, will EVER sing like this man!!! From '68 til his last day, he recorded his best music!!! I still love the '50's and early '60's stuff but it is no parallel to this!!! This one, It's Midnight, Loving Arms, and I could go on and on, are the ones I seriously have to listen to everyday!!! Still loving him!!!!
