Early Orbison

Early Orbison is an album recorded by Roy Orbison on the Monument Records label at their studios in Hendersonville, Tennessee and released in 1964. Essentially a compilation of songs from his first two Monument albums, it is most noteworthy for containing "Pretty One", the "B" side of Orbison's second Monument single, "Uptown". Many Orbison fans believe "Pretty One" would have been his first major hit had it been promoted as an "A" side. The second song of interest on this album is "Come Back to Me My Love" which Fred Foster, owner of Monument Records and producer of all of Orbison's earliest hits, says was the song which inspired production of the hit arrangement that later became "Only the Lonely".

    You Are

    by: Laura Pausini

    Used to be afraid of love
    used to be alone
    never thought I'd find
    someone to lean upon.
    But like a blessing from above
    you came into my life
    when my faith was gone
    somehow you found me.
    You took my hand when I was lost
    embraced me with your love
    in yours arms is where I belong.
    CHORUS
    You are my shelter
    my tears and laughter
    the sunlight and the wind
    you are my angel
    you are the joy that love can bring.
    Love will grow and take us high
    love has just begun
    and I do believe
    nothing can bring us down.
    And I can see it in your eyes
    the flame will never fade
    'cause in my heart I know
    to be there beside you
    to hold you when you're down and out
    embrace you with my love
    'cause in my heart is where you belong
    CHORUS
    You are my one and only
    you are my everything
    your endless love surrounds me
    you are the joy that love can bring
    yes you are.
    You are my shelter
    my tears and laughter
    Baby, baby, baby you're the wind
    You are my angel
    you are the joy that love can bring
    Your love surrounds me
    Baby don't you know you are my everything
    You are my angel
    you are the joy that love can bring
    you are my angel,
