Summary: Elvis had been up all night trying to write "if I can dream" for the Christmas special. Poor thing was tired he couldn't even keep his eyes open. You convinced him to get to bed.
Sleep deprived, and head pounding, Elvis Presley lays flat on his back, mumbling the lyrics he had written and erased on his now crinkled paper. His eyes were slowly closing but he refused to go to sleep, he had to finish this.
You had just walked into the room he had been in for hours, hoping to catch him knocked out on the couch. Unfortunately, your wishes didn't come true. Your eyes scanned over your poor husband looking like a zombie on the floor. Sighing, you seated yourself beside him and rested your hand in his hair.
"Baby, please come to bed. You're workin' yourself too hard."
Elvis removed his eyes from his paper to look at you sleepily, a small frown on his face. "I've got to finish this first, honey. 10 more minutes and I'm done I promise."
You brushed stray hairs from his face, noticing his 5 o'clock shadow that was starting to make its appearance on him. "It's passed midnight and you look like you could fall asleep while standing."
He sighed and set the crinkled paper aside, sitting himself up, and rubbing his drooping eyes. Finally getting himself to stand up, while letting out a yawn.
You stood up right after him and wrapped your arms around his neck, keeping your eyes locked on his. You felt arms snake around your waist and pull you into his chest. "You're comin' to bed right?" You mumbled against him.
He hummed and pressed a soft kiss to your head, and you took that as a yes. The poor man ended up falling asleep once he pulled you close to him under the covers. You noticed as you tried to tell him goodnight, and got a snore in response, causing you to laugh softly and drift off to sleep yourself.

If I Can Dream is so so important. there must be lights burning brighter somewhere, got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue...my heart 💗💗💗
maneskinofficial: “If I Can Dream” out on June 17th - from Elvis movie original motion picture soundtrack.
Feeling so grateful to have had the chance of covering the King for Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming movie. And especially to have spent one day recording in that moving, vibrant place that is Graceland, TN - home and sanctuary of the greatest artist to ever walk the Earth. We left our hearts in there and we can’t wait to share all of these emotions with you ♥️ - 15.06.2022
Has anyone else found themselves listening to Elvis non-stop since the movie came out? my Spotify unwrapped is gonna be very one dimensional this year 😂
We're lost in a cloud
With too much rain
We're trapped in a world
That's troubled with pain
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and fly
