Orbison, Roy - In The Real World Lyrics
In dreams we do so many things
We set aside the rules we know
And fly the world so high
In great and shining rings
If only we could make of life
What, in dreams, it seems
But in the real world
We must say real goodbyes
No matter if the love will live
It will never die
In the real world
There are things that we can't change
In ways that we can't rearrange
I love you, and you love me
But sometimes we must let it be
In the real world
In the real world
When we were dreaming heart to heart
I wish that we had stayed right there
For when the dreamers do awake
The dreams do disappear
If only we could always live in dreams
If only we could make of life
what, in dreams, it seems
But in the real world
We must say real goodbyes
No matter if the love will live
It will never die
In the real world
There are things that we can't change
And endings come to us
In ways that we can't rearrange
I love you, and you love me
But sometimes we must let it be
In the real world
In the real world

Orbison, Roy In The Real World Comments
Wish you still were in the real world with us Roy...
his last again the very best of music he gave the public who loved him and respected his music
Both GREATS - but (either way) Elvis was beautiful to look at- in saying that Roy’s voice makes him equally as so xx
so many of us of all ages say a Roy Orbison record is their all time favourite. Is it any suprise play one you will find it thanks Roy
GREAT MAN
Guaauuu Qué pedazo de voz se me enmudece la vida no se que decir cuantas chicas por mi cabeza Qué lindos tiempo
And so we are sometimes living depressed from day to day because our dreams don't always come true! Life sucks...sometimes! :P
You can feel his soul and I just go there and don't want to come back. Absolutely beautiful.
this song is one of Roy's best....what an Icon!
He must've had the range of an opera singer. He had a great softness in his voice as well as a powerful voice.
I like the song "Running Scared" where the power in his voice climbed throughout the song then full voice at the end. That always sends shiver up my spine.
He gave his best in music and life
Beautiful voice
omigod; this piece is beyond compare. tragically fabulous; thx.
This song comes to mind wherever I watch something made in Japan
William Eggleston brought me here.
Kocham tę piosenkę :) Kocham Roya :) Jego głos wzrusza :)
happy birthday
The man
Очень сожалею , что так поздно узнала об этом изумительном певце. Потрясающий голос, прекрасные песни. Превзойти его трудно, а скорее - просто невозможно
wow - another song I hadnt heard before-what an incredible singer Roy was!!
I wish i had never wake up.
Roy Orbison was the best singer ever to live.
Real world . . . szomorú vagyok ?
Definitive of the true art of music.
Roy ❤❤❤
Roy...he was so great. Thanks from Italy ❤
one of roy's most beautiful songs,,,,,,

LOVE YOU FOREVER ROY...YOU'LL ALWAYS BE THE BEST!!!
This song slap harsh reality on your face whenever you think you got a chance with that girl you like......T_T
Tough world out there........
Roy Orbison is echt mijn favoriet helemaal toppie
Qwirky fact: Elvis would not sing or perform in a line up which included ROY. Because ROY had the better voice range. Now you know.
Steacy783 don’t think so
Different quality both great
B.S. TAKE A VALIUM!
Why can't music like this be written today? Roy Orbison was truly a gift to those who heard him when his songs were first written and now we have but his recordings. Love songs that touched us all and reached deep into our emotions.
What a song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It takes a lot of suffering to write this and sing it. There is authentic heartbreak in the voice of Roy Orbison and huge wisdom.
lord Almighty.bless this man.the suffering he endured.losing his family.wat he gave ", us,"
just so pure in a world so unjust and unfair.The greatest song by by far the bravest most honest beautiful voice to come in our midst. Roy you touch my heart like no other God bless you.
George Thompson I agree with you...Roy was so great. Thanks from Italy
out speech !!! from a Incredible record
Could be my fave song ever
John Christiansen I love I drove all night too
First time I've heard it. And I thought I'd heard all of his ... In all of our imagination, this has got to be at the zenith of artistic creation.
Amaizing song
This sounds like a younger Herbert XD a beautiful song, but DAMN!
it's herbert!
If only we could live in dreams...
I love this song.
Great song but his voice reminds me of the old man from family guy without the whistle
This is the ultimate song of goodbye(but in the real world there are things that we can't change, when endings come to us in ways that we can't rearrange ) i would also liked this played at my funeral.Love will never die and we must say real goodbyes.What a beautiful song.Roy lost someone he truely loved, and i can tell, it broke his heart.
I think he lost 3.
His first wife died in a motorcycle accident a few blocks behind him, and then, when he was away on tour, two of his sons died when their grandfather (Roy's own father) made a foolish mistake that lit the house on fire.
It did break his heart, Brenda. I don't think he ever got over it. Then the tragedy two years later Two much for anyone to bare
This song was a major inspiration when I wrote my book "In the Real World" (Edwin Teal) which was published during 2013. Almost all of the words are in there and - if the book ever becomes a movie - I would love to have this playing during the end credits. There is only one Roy Orbison - brilliant artist.
In the Real World im considering how can i play the instrumental version and be a true reflection of the spirit of the song. Good luck with your movie project from someone that also dabbles in that field of creativity.
I want this played at my funeral service. The next one. I'm so fed up with The Old Rugged Cross.
Some people absolutely miss the point of this song, it's about letting go of your dreams and to realize that the real world is just as beautiful. And for those who don't, use your imagination to make them see what you see. We're really lucky to live today, not in the middle ages, and there's always tomorrow. Love and peace to all of you
+Google made me do it William Eggleston In the Real World bring you here, too?
@Andy Stoffo It did and I'm still ever grateful :)
Peace to you as well such a beautiful song.
Love this song, gives me chills.
Thank you for this. Never hear before.
I go with the moon eye plan if u ask me xD if u know what i mean
beautiful song capturing what many people feel and the best voice in popular music
This is the saddest sweetest song I never heard before. Such a wonderful voice. Thank you for sharing.
The man with the sad voice!. Great singer!.
elvis was right roy was the greatest singer in the world.thats why god takes them so soon in heaven i bet elvis ,roy, janis joplin still peform for god himself
Absolutely God sent.
this is truly a sad song not like other sad songs when suddenly out of nowhere ...loudness-noise-yelling is happening if you know what I mean
We love the Big O, always in our hearts, singin' for the lonelys... God bless you Orbie
I cried during this song because they played it at my granddaddy funeral
This song was a 'parting goodbye' from my ex-girlfriend's second husband. He was a drummer. She drove him insane. I don't wish to comment further about her. Some people are a pre-ordained disaster area. Romantic involvement with severe personality disorders can only end in emotional tragedy. It is a tough record for the lonely, of both sexes. One 24 carat reality you have to face - don't try to fix crazy people - you'll always lose! No amount of patience works either! Walk away = Self Respect.
Such an amazing and true song. I am now a fan.
Sums everything up to me. The real world is full of shit and far too painful.
Never heard this song before and I'm glad I have now. The lyrics coupled with Roy's sensational voice is just beautiful.
com certeza o melhor album de roy orbison,e por incrível que pareça comprei este disco por apenas um real em vinil e o som em um aparelho que toca vinil é espetacular,só quem tem sabe o que ectou dizendo.
I have never heard this before. I guess I didn't hear the Mystery Girl album. I am finding lots I have never heard on YouTube. Thank you all who have put records and videos on for his fans to see and hear!!
beautiful
I wish that we had stayed right there
THE MASTER of all that is heartache and longing! As long as hearts break and people fall in love people will discover Roy Orbison!!
Roy Orbison é gênio...a melancolia transborda nessa canção...impossível ficar indiferente...
@bessomj89 umad bro?
from the 50's to the 80's. excellence.
I had this tape when it first came out. Ironically the same year I broke up with the girl I thought I would marry after I was delivered from alcohol. still brings a tear to my eye.
Simple, more than beautiful and so true, I've been growing up listening his song and will always stay true to him.
In the real world...sometimes a voice comes to us,-a voice that tells such a truth that we wonder if it is actually real...a truth we sometimes dread but, in the end, must accept. In a world that is only for us,-a world about which we only wonder for a time then must accept as real; that voice is the immortal Roy Orbison, a man so beloved that many lives are dedicated solely to him,- to his memory, his place in history; his place in the real world of which he so eloquently sings,-our real world.
One more compromise I won't be making
One more easy way out I won't be taking
So many chances don't come twice
So many eyes are made of ice
This song is my heart and mind put in words. Thank you for the video *
Only a man who really LIVED his life could create music like this with this level of passion and honesty. Thank you Roy Orbison...rest in peace.
world class singer rip orby!!!!!
bass1bone makes a good point. I'm a huge fan of Roy Orbison but you can't imagine a song like this today.
This song, even re-recorded and updated, could never be a hit on radio today. It speaks truth about relationships that nobody seems to want to hear in the age of the "Bad Romance."
Roy always had a way with bittersweet truth. He sang the most beautiful, heartrending songs, and he sang them more beautifully than most mortals dare to dream.
I dearly wish so many of his best years had not been lost in obscurity---and that we had not lost him so soon. He's a true Forever Legend.
Amazing...
