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.

You were a late at night 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 fallen
You took me back to heaven again

And I remember, the Indian summer
How you held me, how you loved me (help me, love 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 lot of loves may die, 'Just believe' it sees me through
Oh, what I'd give to relive all those Indian summers with you

So many hearts have been broken (dum dum dum dum-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
A hundred and ten in the shade 

And I remember (and I remember) the Indian summer
How you held me in the moonlight (and my love)
We were riding along on a silver dream
Never dreaming it all might end
And if I'd known I would 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 I'll follow blind 
'Cause it's all I want to do

Oh, what I'd give to relive all the Indian summers with you
Oh, what I'd give to relive all the Indian summers with you
Oh, what I'd give to relive all the Indian summers with you
Oh, what I'd give to relive all the Indian summers with you
