About the song
Ladies and gentlemen, music aficionados, and lovers of timeless melodies, tonight, we journey back to the golden era of rock ‘n’ roll, to a time when a young man with a mesmerizing voice and a captivating stage presence took the world by storm. I’m speaking, of course, about the one and only Elvis Presley.
Elvis, “The King,” needs no introduction. His influence on music, culture, and fashion is immeasurable. He was a trailblazer, a rebel, and an icon. But beyond the flashy jumpsuits and the electrifying performances, there was a man with a deep passion for music and a soulful voice that could convey the most tender emotions.
Tonight, we’re going to delve into one of his lesser-known gems, a song that showcases his softer side, his ability to connect with the listener on a deeply personal level. The song is “If That Isn’t Love,” and it’s a testament to Elvis’s versatility as an artist.
This isn’t just a rock ‘n’ roll ballad; it’s a heartfelt expression of love, devotion, and longing. It’s a song that speaks to the universal human experience of finding that one person who makes your heart sing. The lyrics are simple yet profound, the melody is hauntingly beautiful, and Elvis’s vocals are simply sublime.
“If That Isn’t Love” is a reminder that love is not always fireworks and grand gestures. Sometimes, it’s the quiet moments, the unspoken understanding, the unwavering support that truly define love. And Elvis captures this essence perfectly in this song.

Lyrics
He left the splendor of heaven
Knowing His destiny
Was the lonely hill of Golgotha
There to lay down His life for me
And if that isn’t love
Then the ocean is dry
There’s no stars in the sky
And the little sparrows can’t fly
Yeah if that isn’t love
Then heaven’s a myth
There’s no feeling like this
If that isn’t love
Even in death He remembered
The thief hanging by His side
Then he spoke of love and compassion
And He took him to paradise
And if that isn’t love
Then the ocean is dry
There’s no stars in the sky
And the little sparrows can’t fly
Yeah if that isn’t love
Then heaven’s a myth
There’s no feeling like this
If that isn’t love It’s got to be love
