When Roy Sang

A song came on the jukebox and we listened with intent He sang "Only The Lonely" with a voice that was heaven sent I was only in eighth grade, a few years from being a man There was "Blue Angel" and "I'm Hurtin' " and I became a die hard fan We'd go downtown to the Coffee Cup to hang out and have some fun Play some music and have a soda, "Running Scared" was number one "Crying" is still a favorite, played "Candy Man" and "Dream Baby" so loud I was mesmerized the first time I heard Roy Orbison sing "The Crowd" There was "Evergreen", Working For The Man" and "Leah" in the year of 62 "In Dreams" , "Falling" , "Distant Drums" and I still love "Blue Bayou" Roy rocked the house with "Mean Woman Blues" "What'd I Say" made us put on our dancing shoes "Indian Summer", "Indian Wedding", "She Wears My Ring" "Oh Pretty Woman", "It's Over", "Goodnight" Roy would sing When Roy sang "Lana" it would tear you apart Don't forget "Breakin' Up is Breakin' My Heart" When Roy sang, you didn't know which song to choose He'd make you rock, make you cry, make you feel the blues When Roy sang, he'd put a smile on your face When Roy sang, the world seemed a better place. Tribute to the greatest, bar none, singer song writer of all time.
