Song lyrics to Linda, Words and Music by Jack Lawrence, 1947
Linda, Linda . .
Morning noon and night I find
Linda’s always on my mind . .
When I go to sleep
I never count sheep
I count all the charms about Linda!
Lately it seems
In all of my dreams
I walk with my arms about Linda . .
But what good does it do me?
For Linda doesn’t know I exist.
Can’t help feelin’ gloomy
Think of all the lovin’ I’ve missed!
We pass on the street
My heart skips a beat
I say to myself, “Hello Linda!”
If only she’d smile,
I’d stop for a while
Then I would get to know Linda!
But miracles still happen
And when my lucky star begins to shine
With one lucky break I’ll make Linda mine.
[Instrumental break]
We pass on the street
My heart skips a beat
I say to myself, “Hello Linda!”
If only she’d smile,
I’d stop for a while
Then I would get to know Linda!
But miracles still happen
And when my lucky star begins to shine
With one lucky break I’ll make Linda mine.
