For those of you (like me) who always wondered about those German lyrics ... I've included them with this video. Now you can sing along to your heart's content ....
That's terrible. My father died years ago with some horrible neurological disease. They didn't know what it was. I did. It was caused by one of my brothers suiciding and another being killed in a mining accident. The only advice I can give you is to be understanding that he can't help it. Also, get a lock on your door so he can't take off. My father used to. It was terrible running down the road in my pjs trying to catch up with him. You should get yourself someone to talk to,. A psychologist may help. I have a reasonable understanding of what you and your family are going through and I feel for you. I know it's terrible. One more thing. Give your father vitamin tablets everyday if he isn't already taking them. God give you the strength to get through it. Hugs from Australia.
@@maryeverett8708 thank you for sharing Mary. Sorry to hear for loss of love ones. Yes . My dad starts to forgetful when mum passed 6 years ago. I had no knowledge Before.. but few days ago I just bought new lock for the back door. You are right. he did took off and neighbour brought him back home. Phew.. I did some reading to handle dad too. I tried my best to stay sane. Kept reminding myself that he's the one who not well and try to stay calm . anyway thanks again for kind words :) hugs fr Malaysia

My dad sang this song at karaoke in his nervous voice …he died last year…the way my mum treated him in his last days was atrocious…he still loved her to the end…it very confused me…he showed me love is way more powerful than anything…thanks dad…I love u friend
It gets easier over time bro. Just promise me you will talk about it because it will eat away your sould if you don't. I didn't and no I'm paying the price for it so please do not follow my footsteps. He is still with you bro it's just that you can't see him now.
I was eleven years old. When we finished work on the farm, we drove the mile back into the village in Tyrone on our Little Grey (TVO) Fergie, me sitting on the mudguard, all three of us eating jelly babies and singing Wooden Heart with feeling & 3-part harmony. Wonderful.
Today my step father told me that this is my nanay's (mother) favorite Elvis song. She have alzheimer's now but I'm sure she lived her younger life to the fullest. Listening to Elvis song with nanay at the moment.
my mum & I sang this when I was a child. She had a heart of gold & i was lucky to share my life with her. Miss you forever, mum, but your craziness, kindness, love & courage has got me this far, so thank you. If you're lucky to have your mum still, make sure she knows how much you love her, because tomorrow is not a promise.💯🙏🏻💚💚🌟
Played at my dad's funeral. Proper old school non complainer, cancer shrank the giant but there was never self pity. God I hope I'm as strong and brave as my dad when my time comes. M J Wright. My hero. X
Reminds me of my uncle Neville, who was killed in a car crash in 1964 at Lindale. I was 14 he was 24. I'm seventy now but I still remember him RIP uncle Neville. 🦡🙂🦊🙃
i think this song is a special memory of our dads singing it to their daughters, mine did and Its so special. To all us daughters here we have this song in our hearts because that is where our dads are always xx
Today my step father told me that Wooden Heart is my nanay's (mother) favorite Elvis song♡♡♡she is with alzheimer's now and I know she lived her younger life to the fullest.
My mum has played the piano accordion since the early nineteen fifties, when motor racing was dangerous and sex was safe and this, as I was growing up was always my fav tune. I love Elvis (all Elvis hits) but this particularly hits my heart-strings like no other...I'm going to re-reed her one of her beautiful instruments and make her play again, just to hear it from her, so we can all sing along again.Thank you.
Catherine Carlton. If you love all Elvis hits you may going to the Instagram Account of bibis beauty palace ( her name is bibisbeautypalace) .she uses falling in love with you saying thank you to her husband for beeing 2 years getting married
@@sunryse111 here are the right sentence :"muss i denn muss i denn zum Stätele hinaus stätele hinaus und du mein Schatz bleibst hier.Sei mir gut sei mir gut sei mir wie du wirklich sollst wie du wirklich sollst und du mein schatz bleibst hier. Hope i couldnt help you
My grandmother played accordion, too, as do I now. This was one song my aunt learned to play on keyboards, and I remember her when I listen to this simple, tender song. Chokes me up.
Elvis sung this to me when I was little! He made me laugh so much! I loved him dearly! We sang it together till my mother died when I was five! Tks for sharing!
"because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. no matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song stays the same, just like that
it shows that when he loved the song and put his all into it, he was amazing bordering on operatic. when he hated the songs or they didn't have the lyrics to deserve it, he didn't try and was not so good. his friend said that from back in the day. of course, in the last years, he was overweight and vegas throated out and his voice had been damaged and wasn't anywhere near what it used to be. sorry elvis, we miss and still love you!
I'm sorry but I have watched Elvis ..he Always put on a good show..even his last show was awesome..maybe a little research would help you know more about him as a man
I loved my wife so dearly......I never understood people that could be so untrue to thier wife and young daughter......Me wife died after 44 years of marriage to non hodgkins lymphoma........I walk, weep, and pray......
00:05 Can't you see I love you? 00:08 Please, don't break my heart in two 00:12 That's not hard to do 00:14 'Cause I don't have a wooden heart 00:20 And if you say goodbye 00:23 Then I know that I would cry 00:27 Maybe I would die 00:29 'Cause I don't have a *woo⬇️den ⬇️heart* • 00:34 There's no strings upon this love of mine 00:41 It was always you from the start 00:46 Treat me nice, treat me good 00:50 Treat me like you really should 00:52 *_'Cause I'm not made of wood_* 00:55 And I don't have a *woo⬇️den ⬇️heart*

This shows ELVIS PRESLEY'S operatic singing better than a lot of other ditties he did. He loved MARIO LANZA and studied and practiced to emulate him.
Also, as a good buddy of Presley said, many of the songs he was saddled with singing in his travelog, beach babe films, were NOT worth the trouble of really trying on, so EP didn't.
Corrections to the lyrics: Städtele has an umlaut on the "a"; shatz has a "z" on the end
