Roy Orbison

Roy Kelton Orbison (April 23, 1936 – December 6, 1988), also known by the nickname 'The Big O', was an American singer-songwriter, best known for his distinctive, powerful voice, complex compositions, and dark emotional ballads. Orbison grew up in Texas and began singing in a rockabilly/country and western band in high school until he was signed by Sun Records in Memphis. His greatest success came with Monument Records between 1960 and 1964, when 22 of his songs placed on the Billboard Top Forty, including "Only the Lonely", "Crying", and "Oh, Pretty Woman".

You were a lady - like lady I was a boy running wild 
The way that you used everything that god gave you 
I gave you my heart like a child, one moment you took me to heaven 
Took me back to earth and then before I woke up to the fact I was small you took me back to heaven again 

And I remember the Indian summer how you held me, how you loved me (Loved me loved me) 
The world may give me a million reasons but reasons don't make it wrong 
Every lesson I learned has a price in return I was lost in my youth and to tell you the truth 
I was empty and you filled me with a glow of love a loving loves may die 
Just to hear you that sees me through, oh what I'd give to re-live all the Indian Summers with you 

So many hearts have been broken (Dum dumb dumb dumb-by Do Wah) 
You had no trouble with mine like a fool I was there for the taking (but then) 
It was only a matter of time you can lie in the sun with the warm wind blowing 
Just knowing you've already paid but you can't live alone in an Indian Summer at 110 in the shade 

And I remember (and I remember) The Indian Summer 
How you held me in the moonlight 

We were riding along on a silver dream never dreaming it off our head 
and if I'd known I'd lose you the moment I found you I'd love you all over again 

'cause I'm still empty (I'm still empty) Come fill me ( Come fill me) 
With a fire of love your flame will follow flame 'cause it's all I want to do 

Oh what I'd give to re-live all the Indian Summers with you 
Oh what I'd give to re-live all the Indian Summers with you 
Oh what I'd give to re-live all the Indian Summers with you 
Oh what I'd give to re-live all the Indian Summers with you-oooooooooooooooooo
