Close to Linda

Billy Walker · A Million and One [1966]

(Fred Foster)



I don't mind the winter rain when I'm hurting I can't stand the pain

Just as long as I can be close to Linda

I can't face the darkest day and know that it won't end that way

Just as long as I can be close to Linda.



For she is warm and she is real

And oh, how good she makes me feel

All my troubles disappear and I am strong and free from fear

When my Linda's near.



The only thing that worries me

Is I know love's so blind would like to be

Standing here in place of me

Close to Linda.



For Linda's warm and she is real

And oh, how good she makes me feel

All my troubles disappear and I am strong and free from fear

When my Linda's near.



So I've just got to make her know

No matter where I go she's

The only place I want to be is close to Linda

Is close to Linda, is close to Linda...
