Roy Orbison Album

(Orbison/Dees)

She was the wind, the earth and sky
She was the one who made me laugh and cry
She was cake and she was wine
She was fun and she was mine

She'd lie lie lie to me
And I'd believe her
She'd cry and cry and cry for me
I couldn't leave her

No one could hurt, no one could flirt
And no one could smile like she could
She was misery and sorrow
She was reason for tomorrow

The smile of the cat was on her face
A Chaparral she love to run the race
The style of the fox men embrace
To know her was to love her
And no one could treat me like she could

She was just a little girl
She was a woman of the world
She was all my dreams
She was many things
But she is, she was, she'll always be
A woman

Roy Orbison

We never walk We never talk
We never find the time To be close again
There it goes again
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown

Too much concern for money to burn
Too many things to do Now you don't need me
And I don't need you
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown

One by one They fail Now the leaves our lover
Cling to the ground
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown

Too much too soon Too much temptation
In a hurry It's a sad situation
Too much worry I can tell Well it's over now
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown

There it goes
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown

When it's right, it's all right
When it's wrong, it's all wrong
When it's gone, it's all gone
It's too late
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown
I can tell Well it's over now

Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown

Joe Melson/Don Gant

Cry softly lonely one
It's over, it's said, it's done
Don't let your heart break down
He's not the only one
So you're blue, And lonely too
Don't fall apart
And when the teardrops start
You can cry;cry to me girl
Cry;cry to me girl
I'll be standing by
I will dry your eyes
But for now, cry softly lonely one

Cry softly lonely one
Your heartaches have just begun
And though they linger on
Carry on, be strong

You're baby's gone, Left you alone
But I'll stand by you
On the long nights through
You can cry, cry to me girl
C'mon and cry, cry to me girl

From this moment on
Don't cry all alone
You can run to me;come to me
You can cry to me
Tonight and forever,lonely one

There's a girl in my life
The best little girl that I could ever find
Her lips are warm when the nights are cold
In the summertime she can make it snow
She's alright, she's alright
If you want to get a girl that's really fine
You gotta get a girl, a girl like mine
She's alright, she's alright.

You take your girl to a show
You got to stand in line but she says no
You finally get your ticket and you walk in
There she's standing with a silly grin


But not mine, she'll stand in line
If you want to get a girl that's truly fine
You gotta get a girl, a girl like mine
Cause she's alright, she's alright.

You buy your girl a fancy dress
That's the only way she'll look her best
I give my girl bell-bottom slacks
A big wide belt and she's a gas
She's alright, she's alright
If you want to get a girl that's really fine
You gotta get a girl, a girl like mine
Cause she's alright, she's alright

Orbison/Dees

Baby, my baby you accuse me of flirting and hurting you no end
You say baby I'm a cheater
You oughta know that cheaters never win
Because it takes one to know one who will hurt you
It takes one to know one who'll make you blue
It takes one to know one like I know you
You're my kind hold my hand, use your mind understand

Baby, my baby don't blame me for playing and saying things unkind
you think baby I'm a loser
but I could win if you were close behind me
Because it takes one to know one who will love you
It takes one to know one who will cry for you
It takes one to know one like I know you
You're my kind hold my hand, use your mind understand

Baby, baby we're birds of a feather, baby, baby we'll live together
baby I'm yours you are mine
And it takes one to know one, it takes one to know one
yes it takes one to know one every time

If your love for me is just temporary
I'd rather not know
Just let me make believe a while

And if I'm not in your plans for a lifetime
I'd rather not know
Just let me make believe a while

Just like a child at play
I'll make believe you'll stay


And if you go away
I'll always miss my best playmate

So if your sweet kiss is just for the moment
I'd rather not know
Just let me make believe a while
Just let me make believe a while

(Newbury)

Here comes the rain baby
Guess it's goodbye again baby
For awhile it was fun, we could walk in the sun
But you never could stand the rain, could you baby.

See the rain in my eyes, baby
I never could stand goodbyes, baby
For awhile you were mine
But the sun can't always shine
And you never could stand the rain could you baby.

[Whistling interlude]

For awhile you were mine
But the sun can't always shine
And you never could stand the rain could you baby.

I tried to keep the rain from falling
You know I tried to keep the rain from falling
It's not the rain in the skies
It's the rain in my eyes
That won't ever stop falling, baby.

Baby, when we're walking by and we happen to meet another guy Don't give him the eye... that's a no no, no no no no, no no no no no
Sugar, when another man wants you to understand Don't hold his hand... that's a no no, no no no, no no no
No, don't be like some other girls, if you love me, come on let it show If you ever get tired of me, baby just let me know: no no no no, no no no no no

Sweetheart, when it's party time and you're groovin', everything is fine Don't forget you're mine... that's a no no, no no no, no no no, no no
Woman when the dance is through and the fella's wait around for you Dont kiss someone new...that's a no no, no no no, no no no, no no

In a cold December, memories can melt your heart away In a warm September, you can still remember yesterday
Even in the darkest night when dreams fade away When your love is gone, you'll never be alone in memories
Memories, while walking through a winter snow, memories, when summer breezes start to blow When true love is far away it may be yours in memories

Memories, while falling leaves just fill the air, memories, when springtime comes and love's not there Even when you cry, try not to say goodbye to memories
Golden memories can turn the night into day, teach your heart to smile And live each day a while in memories

Orbison/Dees

I see through teardrops
That old clock on the wall
The hands are far apart
They tell me that my heart misses you
And you're not with me
Guess it's time to cry
Yes it's time to cry

I hear the doorbell
The postman just came by
All he ever brings
Are bills and nothing things
Oh no, he returned your letter
And it's time to cry
Yes it's time to cry

Time to cry
Ever since you said goodbye
Time to cry
What else can I do but cry over you?

I just can't stand it
The telephone won't ring
The sun is out of sight
Another lonely night begins
And you're not mine
Guess it's time to cry
Yes it's time to cry

When you happened by my open eyes could see,
My sleeping hands awoke and almost reached,
I was full of life till you walked on by
Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely
And only alive.

For a moment my heart began to beat,
My puppet legs responded to your strings,
And my shuffling feet started stepping high


Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely
And only alive.

For all the things worth living for
Left me for someone new
And all of those things I lost
I was left condemned to a lonely life
Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely
And only alive.
