'lovely indeed' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'to overindulge us with love' is the wordplay.
'to overindulge' becomes 'gorge' ('gorge' can be a synonym of 'overindulge').
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'us' after 'o' is 'ous'.
'gorge'+'ous'='GORGEOUS'

'would be' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gorgeous that I've seen before include "Showy" , "Magnificently beautiful" , "Sumptuously beautiful" , "Wonderful to taste or look at" , "Stunning" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
