Don’t Talk to Him.

Don’t Talk to Him.

If some guy tells you, I don’t care,
And tells you lies while I’m not there, don’t talk to him,
And if he tells you, I’m untrue, then darling, here what you must do, don’t talk to him
And if he tells you I’ve been seen walking ’round with Sue and Jean, he’s lying again (lying again).
Do anything that you want to, but darling, this I beg of you, don’t talk to him.
If you hear the words he has to say, he’ll break your heart.
Let your love for me prove strong, while we are far apart.
So just remember what I say, and trust in me while I’m away for I’ll be true,
And just remember my true love is brighter than the moon above for only you,
And if this guy should try to say my love for you is only plain, mearly a whim, (mearly a whim),
Just close your eyes and count to ten and think of me again, but don’t you talk to him.

A Love So Beautiful.

Roy Orbison.

Vocals: The late Roy Kelton Orbison (1936–1988), with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

A Love So Beautiful.

The summer sun looked down on our love long ago,
But in my heart I feel the same old afterglow,
A love so beautiful in every way,
A love so beautiful, we let it slip away.
We were too young to understand to ever know,
That lovers drift apart and that’s the way love goes,
A love so beautiful, a love so sweet.
A love so beautiful, a love for you and me,
And when I think of you, I fall in love again.
A love so beautiful in every way.
A love so beautiful, we let it slip away. (away).
A love so beautiful in every way
A love so beautiful, we let it slip away

Beyond The Rainbow’s End

I have gone from sight but I am waiting,
Waiting just beyond the rainbows end.
I′m happy in this place that I have come to,
Because I’m here with my forever friend.
Now all your thoughts of me let them be joyful,
Of things we′ve done and happy times we’ve shared,
So don’t be sad dear ones because I′ve left you,
Please laugh and talk of me as if I′m there.
Just look up in the sky I am the sunshine,
I’m the mist that rises on a summers morn,
I′m the gentle breeze that cools the autumn evening,
When the birds sing in the trees I am there song.
This journey I have made one day you′ll make it,
You still will be with my forever friend,
It’s then once more that we will be together,
I′ll meet you just beyond the rainbows end.
It’s then once more that we will be together,
I’ll meet you just beyond the rainbows end.
Yes I′m waiting just beyond the rainbows end.

In Dreams.

In Dreams.

Written and performed hereunder by American singer, songwriter and guitarist, the late Roy Kelton Orbison, (1936–1988).

The Late Roy Orbison

In Dreams.

A candy-coloured clown they call the sandman,
Tiptoes to my room every night,
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper,
“Go to sleep, everything is alright”.
I close my eyes, then I drift away,
Into the magic night, I softly say,
A silent prayer like dreamers do,
Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you.
In dreams, I walk with you,
In dreams, I talk to you,
In dreams, you’re mine, all of the time,
We’re together in dreams, in dreams,
But just before the dawn,
I awake and find you gone,
I can’t help it, I can’t help it if I cry,
I remember that you said goodbye.
It’s too bad that all these things,
Can only happen in my dreams,
Only in dreams,
In beautiful dreams.
