A Love So BeautifulRoy Orbison

Released: January 31, 1989

Songwriter: Jeff Lynne Roy Orbison

Producer: Jeff Lynne Roy Orbison

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 I 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

A love so beautiful
In every way
A love so beautiful
We let it slip away

Roy Orbison

Roy Orbison (April 23, 1936 – December 6, 1988) was an American singer-songwriter. Nicknamed “The Big O”, his best-known songs include “Oh, Pretty Woman”, “You Got It”, “Crying” and “In Dreams”.

First rising to fame in the late 1950s, he became one of the biggest artists of the 1960s, producing 22 U.S. top 40 singles. He then went over two decades without any commercial success, before seeing a surprise career revival in the late 1980s when he was invited to be part of The Travelling Wilburys, a supergroup with Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty and George Harrison.

Off the back of the Wilburys' success, Orbison recorded his comeback album, Mystery Girl, but he would unfortunately never live to see his revived popularity as he died before the album’s release.
