The Today sessions were held in RCA's Studio C,
Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, March 10–12, 1975, and marked the last
timeElvis Presley would record in a studio. Elvis last recorded at Studio C, Hollywood in 1972
where he recorded the gold records "Burning Love" and "Separate
Ways". At this time, Elvis was 40 years old. He was accompanied by his
then-current girlfriend, Sheila Ryan. In the 2005 FTD TODAY release from these
sessions, Elvis asked her to "step up here Sheila, let me sing to ya
baby" on Take 1 of Don McLean's "And I Love You So". He
continued to make "And I Love You So" and "Fairytale" a
part of his live concerts until his death. On stage, he often referred to
"Fairytale" as the story of his life.
The old home town looks the same,
As I step down from the train,
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, they'll all be there to meet me,
All creatures smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
The old house is still standing,
Though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's an old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I'll walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Then I awake and look around me
Cold gray walls surround me
And I realize that I was only dreamin'
There's a guard and there's a sad old padre
Arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak
Again I'll touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, they'll all be there to meet me
In the shadow of that old oak tree
As they lay me beneath the green, green grass of home
As I step down from the train,
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, they'll all be there to meet me,
All creatures smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
The old house is still standing,
Though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's an old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I'll walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Then I awake and look around me
Cold gray walls surround me
And I realize that I was only dreamin'
There's a guard and there's a sad old padre
Arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak
Again I'll touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, they'll all be there to meet me
In the shadow of that old oak tree
As they lay me beneath the green, green grass of home
